Re:Yi-Coder: A Small but Mighty LLM for Code

Some are happy with creating tests as well, but you probably want to mostly write them yourself. I mean, only you know the real world context - if the ticket didn't explain it well enough, LLMs can't do magic.
Actually the poorly documented and poorly written is not a huge issue in my experience. The under tested is way more important if you want to automate that work.
Of course, it is still impressive, and definitely would help with the small bugs that require small fixes, especially for open source projects that have thousands of open issues. But is it going to make a big difference? Probably not yet.
Also, good luck doing that on our poorly written, poorly documented and under tested codebase. By any standard django is a much better codebase than the one I work on every day.
