Careful review is non-negotiable.

It would be interesting to see how ai handles legacy compliance, since that is a huge requirement with every OS update.

Yeah… I wonder who will be on the hook when someone comes up with the ingenious idea to have AI supporting critical Internet Explorer infrastructure apps running on ColdFusion… 😅

I’ve experienced some benefits recently with AI speeding up the monotonous parts of my job AND the issue called out here is definitely the main challenge with scaling it in practice at work. Thanks for sharing this, Ben! ❤️

You're welcome! 🙌

Was that an aggressive "AND"? I meant my post to feel like "ai is helpful sometimes and also has a significant cost to consider when working with a team" All caps is a risky choice when agreeing with someone online 😅
