Said on Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast

“I'm finding the AI tends to do a really comprehensive job of all of the sorts of error handling which we probably wouldn't normally do as a dev. If you're doing an MVP, you'd go, well, just get the customer, because the payment can't exist if the customer doesn't exist, and you may not do any error handling around a non-existent customer.” — Troy Hunt, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast

“Most people out there are just seeing the prompt and they'll be like, yeah, I just give everything access to everything. We as technology professionals are a lot more aware of this than the normies: we're going to get some good stuff out of this, we are going to create a risk. Are we satisfied with that risk, and what are your mitigating controls?” — Troy Hunt, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast

“How much time should you spend reviewing the code? If we put this in the context of treating the AI as a team member, when I had people reporting to me, how much time would I spend looking at their stuff? The answer is it depends. It depends on the experience of the individual, on their proven track record, and on the potential impact of screwing up the code.” — Troy Hunt, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast

“If the cost of the AI, if the cost of the tokens went up five times, we'd still be way ahead. I honestly think it'd be more like 10 times before we had to start going, objectively, is this now a problem? If I look at what we spend on Stefan, our one employee, versus what we spend on tokens, it is an order of magnitude more efficient.” — Troy Hunt, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast

“If I had a junior dev that could write code like that, way better than me, that's not a junior dev. I think what you mean is treat it as someone whose output you should validate. So we need to separate the quality of the code that is written from the level of trust and confidence. Trust and confidence is something that is earned over time, and the AI has been earning my trust and confidence by doing a really, really good job.” — Troy Hunt, Troy Hunt's Weekly Update Podcast
