Passerby6497 comments on Agentic Coding is Burning Me Out

(especially if I can give it a coding standard and have it stick to it)

Hoooooh boy, that if is doing a lot of heavy lifting, in my experience. I'm constantly telling the stupid little stochastic fuck to follow basic coding standards I've given it.

I don't use a lot of AI tooling outside of debugging and a little bit into command discovery, but fuck if the little shit isn't constantly rewriting my code into a shit style that I hate and constantly correct.

One of my bosses has been a little Ai-pilled recently and he also contributes code.

I can tell which parts are his AI slop not from any git blame or anything but because of how it looks. You can see the stylistic differences in a block of code from one file to the next, and also it seems like AI likes to add comments to everything, and he just copy and pastes it all into the file. Those comments are often very different looking, too. So just stylistically everything is all over the place.

So, just like any team project.

Everyone has their own style, but Bob over here doesn't change his style every day. Before, my boss had their own style, and if I ended up working on their code I'd try to match that just to keep things consistent. But now it's all over the place.

AI slop just flops out whatever it feels like at any given time since it's just cribbing everything from the internet.
