Comment Re:What could possibly go wrong? (Score 1) 87

If a software engineer can suprivise 1 million lines of code being written a month, then there is no job for software engineers anymore. A single person can't verify that much code in a month, so writing code would no longer be an important skill.

The difficulty here isn't the Rust (since literally anything can be rewritten in Rust with more or less difficulty); the difficulty here is the Ai.

The problem is that without allowing some "unsafe" operations in Rust or any other language it is impossible to do any I/O

I don't think that's true, unless you insist on immutability. In particular, it IS possible to do safe IO, most languages can handle it. For Rust, it's just a matter of defining the proper rules that make IO safe, and then enforcing them.

That's not even the problem, the biggest problem is it doesn't reach its own goals. You should be able to use Rust without using Unsafe, otherwise it doesn't solve the problem it claims to solve (or rather, it solves them in a "good enough" fashion, the same as smart pointers in C++ and there's no reason to switch from one to the other).

Comment Re:Faster, no. Multi-tasking yes. (Score 1) 127

As a human, AI workflows let me have a life. I can let the agents knock out the easy things while I'm working on other tasks. I still need design out what's to be worked on, review the code, fix bone mistakes they make, etc. It's basically like having a junior developer assigned to you.

Every time I see someone talking about AI being a junior developer, I am quite certain they have never worked with a junior developer.
