the whole "use llms for testing / boring work" is a very revealing attitude.
the notion that things like tests and build systems weren't important has been around for a long time, and this suggestion is just a furtherance of that view on engineering. while we can't hold the entirety of other departments in our head, a healthy respect and value for what others are providing is essential to doing good work.

in fucking python
jesus its cooked
why
people are really out here developing an affection for a parasite because it
- told them they are good and smart
- told them they didnt need to write tests anymore
lmao
I mean, at least its not just happening to us
imagine, gzipping mesh data in ascii and spewing it up to bezos house of horrors, only to be slurped back and deserialized
lmao

moreover, good systems are often not huge in terms of LOC, and even when they are, that code has been layered in over decades, with a wealth of in house knowledge spread across the engineers.
adding thousands of lines per day feels like a good way to exponentially reduce the debuggability of a system, and the sanity of the remaining engineers

@enhancedscurry I figured, looks like a really cool piece of work! I was just tickled at it being released from msft and probably not working under msvc (totally understand though, my codebase gave up on it a while ago to use clang/gcc extensions as well like __cleanup)

Brutal, they just announced the 343 to halo studio transition at last years world championship.
