Yes, I was referring to AI assisted generation.
I'm cautious on expressing any opinions too definitively because the landscape is change, and fast. I'm personally currently of the approach of talking with the LLM, generating code paths, re-writing then, hand unit-testing them so I can prove to myself I actually know what just happened, and I'm not introducing subtle bugs etc etc. Kind of the opposite of what the brand new term "Vibe coding" is pointing to.
To make my comments a little less abstract, the epiphany I had and was referring to above was when I had some stupid ESM import problem with a really really old library for parsing cmd-line args (`minimist`) .. and Deno's std lib for that was also being a dick, and failing on imports.
Generating that kind of thing up from nothing, while always possible, had a much higher cost, especially in the area of "confidence" that you actually hit the main edge cases the library was abstracting for you. 2 replies
