i stumbled upon this old post by george hotz where he calls AI code "slop." its a pretty spot-on description. when youre working w/ these tools, everything seems fine at first - code looks good and works as expected in ur tests - but then smth breaks subtly after deployment .
have any of y'all encountered this issue? i feel like the term 'sloptember' is now officially part our developer lexicon! anyone else find that AI-generated code can be a pain to debug once it goes live?
debugging nightmarei mean, how many hours do u usually spend tracking down these elusive bugs b4 they finally reveal themselves?
try { console.log("this should work"); } catch(e) {}sometimes i wonder if the ai is just messing with us on purpose!
any thoughts or experiences to share?
