> AI agents can build a whole app and review PRs better than a lot of people
Assuming you're comparing to experienced human developers that are good at what they do, then I think you have to define what "better" means here. It's clear that you can get correctly functioning software faster in many cases, but it's not clear that the design will be better in terms of conciseness and readability or that it's as useful as a foundation for building upon later if nobody understands what's going on inside.
Actually I was extrapolating, I should have expanded about it.
But to me, having graduated last year, it doesn't seem far-fetched to think that AIs will also get better in terms of design.
And will conciseness and readability even matter in the long term ?
It's all things I think about more and more often and I'm not sure where I will end up
