In addition to AI writing tests, it's also easier than ever getting to or near 100% code coverage.

I have an idea for this: adverserial mutation, just spawn a bunch of cheap Haiku agents and have them deliberately introduce bugs at varying levels of subtlety, every bug that the preexisting test suites don't catch signals a gap in test suite coverage

Question: Some SWE jobs/companies are really protective of the code they produce and protect it with copyright including if an employee were to leave a job or work for a competitor. What happens when everyone expects an AI to write code and the USPTO says the code is no longer copyrightable?

I can think of only one legitimate reason to do this, which aligns with the statement that not many people used it: If the assembly of the Mach-E now excludes the plastic liner and assembly of the frunk there's a little bit (not $500) of savings.

holy shit, the car business has absolutely lost the plot insideevs.com/news/788178/...

We need to bring back the term freebooting for copyright infringement. Model training and distillation is freebooting and TOS violation but not theft unless you agree with the "you wouldn't steal a car" anti-piracy ads from years ago. youtu.be/PLzy-IJg4_4

You wouldn't STEAL a CAR? (Hilarious anti piracy commercial)

I'm amused that the people talking about this are using this app, the phones and OSes which all have code written with LLM assistance.

Getting tired of hearing "There are literally no use cases for LLMs" from people who think the only way to use an LLM is to type into chatgpt dot com, press enter, and hope for the best

One of the things that I learned as a SWE consultant taught me is that the code you write will always eventually be owned by someone else. Your time there will come to an end. Therefore the code has to not only be readable & understandable but the sooner the entire team owns all the code, the better

Actual Engineering Manager here. Everyone talks about Vibe Coding, but I don't hear a lot about Vibe Debugging. My nightmare is that something burps out a mess of code and *no one is responsible for it*. If one of my people writes it... well they get to fix it. If no one writes it.......

I should probably post something so I don't look like a bot.
