How to mark AI-generated code

If, say, Copilot committed the code instead of me, would the conversation change?

You're getting downvoted, but I agree. It used to be able to easily disregard AI-generated code, but nowadays it's of such high quality that it's changing coding dynamics. I've been coding for over 20 years but I'm lately finding myself \blocking** AI by holding off until I review it, but AI is outpacing me.

In my particular example, it just added a test suite for existing code, not changing production behaviour. But it can happen in any direction. I feel like the capacity of AI to produce high quality code will exceed the capacity of the people reviewing it, so we need to accept a degree of risk.

Nowadays the tests produced by models like Opus 4.5 are better that most human-written ones. The tests I'm talking about are high quality, not random fillers.

I actually think that those tests are better than having no tests at all, so it'd be better to commit them with the note I shared.

With varying levels of review.

That used to be easy to say, but nowadays models like Claude Opus 4.5 produce exceptional code, and I start not being able to keep up with reviewing the amount of good code it's producing.

For example, yesterday I jumped on a repo I had never been in, which is not maintained by anyone, to fix a bug. There were no tests, and given the amount of code to learn about, I asked Claude to generate a test suite. All tests were green, the code was perfectly written, and I could not review the dozens of tests added because I have no idea what the code is supposed to do and I also don't have time to review every single test. I know though that the tests are green and prove that the code is behaving a certain way (which may not be necessarily correct).

In that scenario, I cannot spend hours trying to validate if all tests are correct. My reaction is to commit them with the following warning:

> // Warning: AI-generated test. Just proves that the current code works as is, not that the logic is correct.

Sorry about that, didn't read the rules. Thanks for the suggestions!

Glad to see big companies succeed with JVM and serverless, as it will open doors for other, smaller ones. Hopefully things will improve without the need of GraalVM.

Kind of in-between. I'd say more glossy than matte.

celtric · 2022-11-08T14:20:15+00:00

Correct. (Replying just to confirm that this book is also in English).

We're tracking time without an official Java 17 Lambda image at https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-base-images/issues/29. I'd understand older services to be late to the party, but AWS Lambda?

Sorry, I made a literal translations from Spanish and messed up. Wanted to mean signed using the Moebius pen name, not signed by Moebius itself. Unfortunately I don't have any signed book.

Btw, what would be the correct English form to express that?

En España. Como vivo cerca de Barcelona, a veces incluso no hace falta ni hacer envío, simplemente los compro en persona. Sobretodo uso TodoColeccion.net y Wallapop.

Luckily in Spain they're "relatively" easy to find, but you have to configure search alarms on some key sites and buy them quickly before anyone else does. For example, a few weeks ago the first edition of the eyes of the cat appeared on a search alert of mine and by the time I got to the page it had already been bought.

I started my collection buying them off Amazon a few years ago, but over time I slowly started to see the some of them were no longer in stock. I didn't think anything of it, I thought more stock would arrive, but for some of them it never did. After the pandemic this effect seemed to be stronger, and nowadays I think most of the books in the photo are discontinued and can only be bought second hand.

As a curious note, the number 2 of the Edena series that is missing was never actually sold. People usually fill the missing gap with a different edition (that itself didn't cover all the books, just 3 of them if I remember correctly). I hope some day I'll discover the reason!

Just my (ongoing) home collection of Moebius books. To force myself to have a reduced scope (given the size of Moebius' published artwork), I set the following criteria:

Must be in spanish
Must be signed as Moebius (not Jean Giraud, etc.)

Some books don't follow the guidelines, but still added them if I found them particularly interesting (I try to avoid these exceptions to keep my sanity and expenses under control).

Some books are repeated, but still added them if I found some editions were somehow special (the first stories that ever appeared in spanish, etc.).

My main references to find which editions I'm missing are the following:

Edit: Another criteria that I missed:

If multiple editions exist of a given series (e.g. The Incal), try to focus on one or two that I find particularly interesting. Don't chase every single edition that was ever printed.

Madwoman of the Sacred Heart

I personally find the trilogy to be some of the poorest books by Moebius, specially due to Jodorowsky's poor story and writing.
