> If you ask to unify the duplication, it'll say "No problem, here's a brand new metamock abstract adapter framework that has a superset of all feature sets, plus two new metamock drivers for the older and the newer code! Let me know if you want me to write tests for the new adapters."

Nevermind the fact that it only migrated 3 out of 5 duplicated sections, and hasn’t deleted any now-dead code.

Sounds like my coworkers.

  • people also piss in rivers, yet dumping raw sewage by million m^3 in the same rivers is generally (less so in uk) frowned upon...

  • Maybe, but I'd bet a large sum of money that each of your coworkers aren't turning out this drivel at a rate of 3kLoC per hour.

    Can you imagine working with someone who produces 100k lines of unmaintainable code in a single sprint?

    This is your future.

  • That's the reality nobody really wants to say.

    • It's not reality. I'm really not a fan of the way that people excuse the really terrible code LLMs write by claiming that people write code just as bad. Even if that were true, it is not true that when you ask those people to do otherwise they simply pretend to have done it and forget you asked later.

    • Maybe, but it lets them pump out much, much more code than they otherwise would have been able to. That's the "100x" in their AI productivity multipliers.
