Comment on Cloudflare built an oauth provider with Claude
bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 3 weeks agoIf you read the commentary on the process you notice heavy reliance on experts in the field to ensure the code is good and secure. Claude is great at pumping out code, but it can really get confused and forget/omit earlier work, for example.
I think the notion of junior developers disappearing because of AI is false. These tools accelerate productivity, they don’t replace human experience.
I think this take undervalues the AI. I think we self select for high quality code and high quality engineers
But many of us would absolutely gawk at something like Dieselgate. That is real code running in production on safety critical machinery.
I’m basically convinced that Claude would have done better
Dieselgate wasn’t a “bug” it was an designed in feature to circumvent emissions. Claude absolutely would have done the same, since it’s exactly what the designers would have asked it for. Somehow I doubt it would have gone undetected as long if Claude wrote it tho, it’d probably mess it up some other way.
You should look into how Dieselgate worked
I don’t think you understand my take
I guess that makes it a bad analogy

This is true, because AI is not the actual issue. The issue, like with most, is humanity; our perception and trust of AI. Regardless of logic, humanity still chooses illogical decisions.
