Humans are plenty capable of writing crappy code without needing to blame AI.
Comment on Cloudflare blames massive internet outage on 'latent bug'

I wonder if all recent outages aren’t just crappy AI coding

Absolutely, but it does feel like things have spiked a bit recently.

Train on shitty code, get shitty code. Garbage in. Garbage out.

AI coding, AI compiling, AI bug testing, AI users, etc.

Indirectly, this was. He said this was a bug in their recent tool that allows sites to block AI crawlers that caused the outages. It’s a relatively new tool released in the last few months, so it makes sense it might be buggy as the rush to stop the AI DoS attacks has been pertinent.

Shitty code has been around far longer than AI. I should know, I wrote plenty of it.

They trained it on the work of people like you.

Shame on them. I mark my career by how long it takes me to regret the code I write. When I was a junior, it was often just a month or two. As I seasoned it became maybe as long as two years. Until finally i don’t regret my code, only the exigencies that prevented me from writing better.

The AI was the shitty code we wrote along the way

It’s always depressing when you ask the AI to explain your code and then you get banned from OpenAI

Who didn’t get hit by the fork bug the professor explicitly asked you to watch out for since it would (back then with windows systems being required to use the campus resources) require an admin with Linux access to eliminate.
It was kind of fun walking in to the tech support area and them asking your login name with no context knowing what the issue was. Must have been a common occurrence that week of the course.

But, AI can do the work of 10 of you humans, so it can write 10 times the bugs and deploy them to production 10 times faster. Especially if pesky testers stay out the way instead of finding some of the bugs.
