The amount of code being created by AI at Google has grown as the company pushes staff to adopt coding assistants and agents.

    Of course! Google would say that. Doesn’t mean it’s true. They aren’t under oath and they have every reason to lie.

    Man Gemini sucks. They force replaced assistant with Gemini for me.

    “Hey google, play my rock playlist”

    “You dont have a rock Playlist on youtube music”

    “Hey google play rock Playlist on spotify”

    “You dont have “rock Playlist on Spotify” on youtube music”

    We call this fucking progress?

    I know its barely related to the post. Just fuck Google and fuck their ai

      I still remember the good old days when google has the best code quality among big techs. That being said, seeing how shitty everyone’s code has become, google might still be the best :)

    I’d say something, but it’s pretty much all been covered. They’re now too big to fail, so we just have to put up with whatever they serve up next.

    I’m not changing phone ecosystems, as I enjoy having some marginal level of control over the hardware I fucking purchased. Search is fucking worthless; I’ve not used that in ages. DDG gets the job done without a screen and a half of ads and sponsored content.

    Who the fuck puts up with this shit?

    Also, as I have nearly run out of fucks to give: Fuck. And now I’m out of them again.

      Open source android forks exist. Open source operating systems exist. Phones that natively run both exist. Do you mean that you specifically enjoy having maginal control, no more, no less?

    *75% of code was written by people who were required to have an AI plug in installed.

    Probably also having their usage tracked.

    Also have had their work loads increased and their deadlines shortened.

    And if they don’t hit the metrics and meet the shorter deadlines… they get fired.

    I’m sure that’s a recipe for functional, well tested, efficient, and secure software. Definitely not creating a shit ton of technical debt.

      And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent’s they’re pressured to use.

      So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.

        Here, use this tool it makes you fast and it only costs you not understanding what you ship.

        But when the tool screws up and breaks things we’ll blame you and not the tool.

        We must go fast so you must use this tool.
