From Ashley Willis:
“[A mentor] pointed out that debugging AI generated code is a lot like onboarding into a legacy codebase, making sense of decisions you didn’t make, finding where things break, and learning to trust (or rewrite) what’s already there. That’s the kind of work a lot of developers end up doing anyway”
From Sean Goedecke:
Being good at debugging is more useful than being good at writing code – you only write a piece of code once, but you may end up debugging it hundreds of times1. As programmers use more AI-written code, debugging may end up being the only remaining programming skill.
