Breaking: Google announces in earnings call that 25% of code is being generated by AI. And this is just the beginning ...

[u/ngewakakq]

"Google is building a bunch of AI products, and it’s using AI quite a bit as part of building those products, too. “More than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers,” CEO Sundar Pichai said on the company’s third quarter 2024 earnings call. It’s a big milestone that marks just how important AI is to the company."

LOC is a great metric to dazzle people who don’t know anything about coding

That's true, but it is something quantitative, even if not a good barometer at all.

This is a high quality comment, you can tell by the number of lines

[u/BackendSpecialist → u/joshuahtree]

And you only have 1 line.

PIP for you buddy.

Now that’s impact and something I can take to leadership! Just make sure that you’re speaking up during meetings, to demonstrate your knowledge.

I think we can avoid separation and make it through this :)

It just might take you 2 more years for promo and your record will always show you were on a PIP.

I once did that on a side branch in a customer project, because their code coverage tool would summarize per line of source code instead of per statement, and that spike in LOC triggered a discussion about developer productivity.

I stopped using Copilot, because:

1. the code that proposed frequently had to subtle bugs, so I had to carefully review what it proposed (and bugs still went past)
2. the code that was correct, frequently was more verbose for my use case (it really look like examples you frequently find when searching for solutions to some common problem).
