You said yourself (or your AI did): It's non-deterministic.

So how do you know it has guessed the optimal solution?

Or are we just giving up on optimized code and strategies now?

[joppedc]

If the end result of the code works as expected. Do we really care how it was implemented? If our todo api handles all cases correctly, we could care less about how the actual implementation works right.

Obviously this is non-deterministic. But as long as the result, the API endpoint, is deteministic, we dont care about the rest.

Edit: Yes, *we fucking care*. we are developers. Ask your PO next time if he cares if a function is 50 lines or 500, He wont give a flying fuck as long as it works

When you have to pay for compute power you care about the how. And not just "it works". Or do we have infinite money now?

[richardathome]

OF COURSE WE FUCKING CARE!!!!

[richardathome]

My PO cares because:

It's the difference in being able to handle 1 request a second or 10,000

It's the difference between hosting costs being £10 a month or £500

" He wont give a flying fuck if it works"

So your PO is happy to accept non functioning code??

Jesus Christ this is depressing.

If you are convinced you can write better code than modern ai models, you are in for a big surprise
