Self-review is an anti-pattern.

Proofreading an essay before submitting it is an anti pattern?

you don't proof read your speech writer. politicians don't even know what they will read until they start reading in the podium for example. ...not that i think it's good, but people have stopped caring mostly

And politicians are a famously well-loved group of people

Just to be clear, when I say that it is impossible even to self review, it was an indication of how difficult is to review code of colleagues.

So much this. We don't review the assembly/machine-code that the compiler creates, why do we still review the code the AI generates?

If it works as desired then ship it; if it doesn't then iterate until it does.

If it works as desired then ship it

Before AI, this was a joke.

_because compiling a code language into machine language is deterministic_.

If you think that compiling and explaining in English something to an LLM so it outputs code is the same activity, I just hope to never have you as a coworker.

Don’t want to be an asshole but the pattern I have observed is that people who were not qualified / competent to code before November of 2022 have this mentality.

They want to make you feel dumb and useless with your software development knowledge.

This is only OK where “it works” is the only criteria for accepting a software change.

Because the compiler does a deterministic transform on the input. And the input is less ambiguous than natural language and following more strict rules.

Why ask obvious things?

That's such an AI bro take
