or he will find a way to get the AI to create harnesses so it becomes stable. The lack of imagination and willingness to experiment in the HN crowd is AMAZING me and worrying me at the same time. Never thought a group of engineers would be the most conservative and close minded people I could discuss with.

It's a paradox, huh. If the AI harness became so stable it wrote good code he wouldn't be afraid to look at the code he would be eager to look at it, right? But then if it mattered if AI wrote good code or not he couldn't defend his position that the way to create value with code is quantity over quality. He needs to sell the idea of something only AI can do, which means he needs the system to be made up of a lot of bad or low quality code which no person would ever want to be forced to look at.

Wait till you meet engineers other than sw engineers. Not even sure most sw people should be called engineers since there are no real accredited standards. I specifically trained as EE in physical electronics because other disciplines at the time seemed really rigid.

There's a saying that you don't want optimists building bridges.
