I hope we never work together. 95% accurate will cause problems that you won’t notice when you inevitably get lazy.

This is how I feel about cars that can drive themselves 99.9% of the time. The remaining 0.1%, the most difficult of corner cases, are to be handled by the human who has no experience driving even in good conditions.

I'm a strong advocate for writing tests first, maintaining a robust QA process, and ensuring all merge requests undergo peer review. Since I started using GPT-4 for coding, the quality of my merge requests has remained the same. The difference is that I can now produce about twice as many merge requests, as GPT-4 handles the boilerplate writing, Stack Overflow searches and helps to start get going in case of a mental blockade or missing idea.

By what metric do you measure quality? Plenty of gpt users were dumping low qualify contributions prior to gpt, now their contributions are the same idiotic trash but appear more competent…
