my team is anti-AI. my code review requests are ignored, or are treated more strictly than others. it feels coordinated - i will have to push back the launch date of my project as a result.
another teammate added a length check to an input field, and his request was merged near instantly, even though it had zero unit testing. this team is incredibly cooked in the long term, i just need to ensure that i survive the short term somehow.
it sounds like you might have wasted your team's time previously and now they don't trust the code you put up with a PR. Maybe you can do something to improve your relationship with them?
As a sidenote, I highly doubt they are cooked longterm. Using AI is not exactly skilled labor. If they want or need I'm sure they could learn patterns/workflows in like an afternoon. As things go on it will only get easier to use.
Exactly. I find it hilarious that the people down-voted my comment.
Like yeah sorry... not everyone has to be a risk-taker. Many people like to observe and await to see what new techniques emerge that can be exploited.

That sounds extremely reasonable though?
Code that does not take a pre-existent unit test from failing to passing is by definition broken.
No its not.
that is not what "by definition" means
i take it you’re meaning i’m the “treat every gun as if it’s loaded” sense and not actually
" this team is incredibly cooked in the long term" they're not actually.
People like you are making sunk expenditures whilst the models are evolving... they can just wait until the models get to 'steady-state' to figure out the optimal workflow. They will have lost out on far less.
aye, totally correct.
funny story, figured out the root cause behind 3 years of brain fog just a few hours after i left this comment. it wasnt long covid; turns out my eyes were so swollen from screentime, that they were cutting off blood flow to my prefrontal cortex. started using a portable eye massage device, and poof - back to normal. just have to clean up the mistakes i made while i was sleep deprived and caveman like.
I would start looking for a job at an AI-leaning firm.
aye, fair assessment.
