if I was working for google I'd resign.
supremely irresponsible for them to push AI this hard, it is simply not capable of replacing engineers nor speeding them up considerably if they have to review all of its output.
seems like all the devs will just be pushing AI slop into the repos and letting the poor fucker in charge of reviewing it take all the inevitable heat
unless their tooling is somehow lightyears ahead of market and doesn't constantly bullshit or write broken, insecure code...
i got a slow start on using coding agents but dove into it recently and it's allowed me to make more progress on some of my longest-term projects than I have in years! I also used to work for Google and this tool would have made my life tremendously better. I originally expected the coding agent to mostly handle boilerplate, but it produces initial prototypes that are often close to complete.
