I have yet to have an AI write code of more than one or two lines that doesn't have a breaking bug. Speed isn't useful if it's broken. And honestly I usually spend more time debugging AI code than I would have just writing it myself. It's nice sometimes for getting an understanding of syntax of a system I'm not used to, but beyond very generic scripts that don't depend on context, it's pretty useless in my experience. I have Copilot integrates with my IDE for work and it's more trouble than it's worth so far. Even just for code completion, the IDE does a better job most of the time even if it suggests much smaller chunks at a time. And the smaller chunks are actually better if I have to proofread every single word either of then outputs anyway.

It's John Henry all over again. Dębiak should make sure he gets some proper R&R now, just to be safe.
There lies a strict typin' man, lord lord.
It looks like the challenge was a variation on multi-agent path finding. Neat.

I can't help but think of John Henry 😂
The article literally references the legend of John Henry, yeah.
