While I'm personally against AI coded projects I've noticed more and more that the best projects for my homelab have either turned into AI coded projects or started as one. I first and foremost look into alternatives and weigh in if the features in the AI coded projects are needed over the one that isn't. But it's been harder and harder over the years and months to find projects without it.
While I see the different spectrums of fully supporting it, to seeing it as a tool to outright hate it and disregarding everything with it completely I'm mostly curious where does the line go?
When can you spot a good developer that uses it and when can you spot a bad one?
1 million lines of code in one month from a hugely experienced coder vs a developer with none?
Without deeply vetting the developer and their history and their other projects code how would it be best done?
I only really do SvelteKit stuff for example, some bash scripting too, so I can't spot code efficiency in other languages like Rust or Go.
I'm on the stance that I always avoid to the best of my ability AI coded projects because I don't believe that AI can generate code that is efficient and secure in the long run. I know of a few self hosted projects that has been used to some extent with AI and has gotten reaaaalllyyy bad security patches.
Yeah, I noticed similar too. I've been using a game mod for many years that is in active development, and its devs switched to very AI-heavy development earlier this year. They now add new features with lightning speed, but they are noticeably buggier and unreliable.
