Our problem is not coding. Our problem is knowledge. If no one reads it and no one knows how it works and that’s what the company wants because we need to ship fast then the company doesn’t understand what software is all about. Code is a language, we write stories that makes a lot of sense and has consequences. If the companies does not care that humans need to know and decide in details the story and how it’s written then let it accept the consequence of a sttastistically generated story with no human supervision. Let it trust the statistics when there will be a bug and no one knows how it works because no one read it and no one is there anymore to debug. We’ll see in the end if it’s cheaper to let the code be written and only understood by statistical algorithms. Otherwise, just work differently instead of generating thousand of loc, it’s your responsibility to review and understand no matter how long it takes.
