Workers should learn AI skills and companies should use it because it’s a “cognitive amplifier,” claims Satya Nadella.

    It is pretty common to write unit tests for functionality that doesn’t exist (test driven development). It gets you to think about, and test, everything that needs to exist in the program before writing the program. This approach doesn’t always work, particularly in large code bases where you need to learn the structure of a module before you can even think about design.

    ‘Freezing the results’ is ok too, as long as you know the results are currently correct. The AI has no way of knowing this and poor programmers often don’t verify either.

    It is very easy to write a shit test.

      Oh yeah for sure, I have seen tests that are pretty useless, for me the way I do it is I write the first one or two tests then instruct copilot to follow the patterns and then it does well, ofc I have to double check it, but reading is easier than having to write it.
