They don't need to be involved. They force it on people and people are making a judgement call and a trade off that the upsides outweigh the downsides. That doesn't mean it's right or that people are happy about it or that it needs to happen. That would just be an appeal to the status quo.

Skill issue. Especially these days. What a cop out.

Data modelling is helpful for humans that can expand that kind of context on the fly and with recall. For the midwit models I use it just creates context that is expressed once and then glossed over.

Having to over express the data model everywhere is precisely what makes AI good at using it.

Does the code suck to read? Sure, but I don't really do that very often anymore anyway.

In this case, the verbosity of go is a feature not a bug.

I guess it depends what your optimizing for, good code or fast turn around without needing to constantly remind the AI about certain type behaviors.

Code review? We have bots for that.

Go is an amazing AI language for this reason.

The tests that get created also tend to be higher quality than say the slop I see in python.

Though I do suspect my codebases are doing heavy lifting in terms of steering towards quality outcomes.

I asked Claude to provide me with a text copy of a website and it said it couldn't because of copyright.

I then gave it the html as a file upload and it gave it back to me.

It's reasoning why? I already had the file so it must be mine. I told it a judge wouldn't care.
