Comment on Devs gaining little (if anything) from AI coding assistants

Haha, yeah. It really loves to refactor my code to “fix” bracket list initialization (e.g.
List<string> stringList = []
) because it keeps not remembering that the syntax has been valid for a while.It’s newest favorite hangup is to incessantly suggest null checks without asking if it’s a nullable property that it’s checking first. I think I’m almost at the point where it’s becoming less useful to me.
