He notes that AI-generated code has caused production systems to fail multiple times. Newport suggests that AI-generated code is acceptable for less critical tasks where errors would not have significant consequences, aligning with his own experiences. AI

    Cal Newport on AI Coding and Its Issues Writing production code is tricky in that it can not fail. In this engineer’s case it broke production twice. The thesis of this article is that it’s ok to use AI to write code, which if it breaks does not cause to too much of an issue. Whi…
