The most recognizable thing about AI generated code seems to be its commenting style: there's a dearth of fully-formed sentences and an abundance of "the next line of code is doing X". Now, my take on LLMs generating code is that they generate the mean of all code they encountered. Just as with testing, this commenting style is indicative of just how bad human-generated code seems to be, on average. I won't stand for this reduction of quality, but I'm sure that half the coders out there will see an improvement by using AI

@krono yup. To be fair, I think a lot of Elixir teams work on what I call "one-shot webapps". The sort of tests that Claude essentially told me are commonplace are fine for that. But in the context of an ISV or SaaS company... it'll kill your productivity.

@jawarajabbi I was lucky in the sense that my "tech career" started with a u-turn through business school, so I'm less inclined to think of sales and marketing as "dirty" activities. Still, I would have preferred the book not to be self-published because it's hardly the sort of stuff I like to volunteer for :-). Regardless, a plan is in place and will be executed.
