Some things to expect in 2025

> A major project will discover that it has merged a lot of AI-generated code, a fact that may become evident when it becomes clear that the alleged author does not actually understand what the code does.

Not to detract from this point, but I don’t think I understand what half the code I have written does if it’s been more than a month since I wrote it…

I am confident that you do understand it at time of writing.

> We depend on our developers to contribute their own work and to stand behind it; large language models cannot do that. A project that discovers such code in its repository may face the unpleasant prospect of reverting significant changes.

At time of writing and commit, I am certain you "stand behind" your code. I think the author refers to the new script kiddies of the AI time. Many do not understand what the AI spits out at time of copy/paste.

Sounds a lot like bashing copy pasting from StackOverflow. So also like old argument “kids these days”.

No reasonable company pipes stuff directly to prod you still have some code review an d QA. So doesn’t matter if you copy from SO without understanding or LLM generates code that you don’t understand.

Both are bad but still happen and world didn’t crash.

LLM can generate a larger chunk of code then you'll find on SO, so I think it's a larger issue to have LLM code then copy-pasted SO code.
