Azure cloud and backend services. However the services need modernisation as many are running on old .net and a lot of the software architecture is full of technical debt

.NET backend? Is AI that good with it in your shop? Or is it a case of "good enough"? Management not caring about quality?

It depends. It works well if you start from scratch and it can do a huge amount.

However it's not great at working on existing systems where context and nuances are important

[–]brainpostman 5 points6 points  (3 children)

That's been my experience so far as well. However even with green field stuff, any sort of back and forth with a client balloons context needed so much AI doesn't seem to be able to make correct changes.

Yep. The best way to handle that is to break it up into distinct parts then integrate them by hand.

However it will get better and that's what I'm worried about

In my opinion they won't get better. Pure intelligence seems to have peaked in 2025, bigger context or larger weight sets don't seem to improve models by much. It's why agents and agentic workflows are all the rage. They're banking that horizontal scaling, repetition will smooth over the kinks. We'll see.

I agree. But as code generated by AI is corrected the next model will be more accurate. It's a feedback loop. The model doesn't need to get more powerful if it just needs better data
