Damn you merasmus!

Unironically yes, mostly cause most websites on mobile are the most horrid experience and an app for the average audience is just how phones are nowadays

I have hope. Last time they got hit with an anti monopoly lawsuit that should’ve forced them to sell away chrome, but unfortunately they got bailed out. Here’s hoping next time they aren’t so lucky

I hope google fails as a whole in the near future and gets dissolved once and for all. Sick and tired of tech companies trying to be sources of authority, working with authoritarian governments, and dictating what you can and can’t do.

To preface I don’t actually use ai for anything at my job, which might be a bad metric but my workflow is 10x slower if i even try using ai

That said, I want AI to be able to do unit tests in the sense that I can write some starting ones, then it be able to infer what branches aren’t covered and help me fill the rest.

Obviously it’s not smart enough, and honestly I highly doubt it will ever be because that’s the nature of llm, but my peeve with unit test is that testing branches usually entail just copying the exact same test but changing one field to be an invalid value, or a dependency to throw. It’s not hard, just tedious. Branching coverage is already enforced, so you should know when you forgot to test a case.

Edit: my vision would be an interactive version rather than my company’s current, where it just generates whatever it wants instantly. I’d want something to prompt me saying this branch is not covered, and then tell me how it will try to cover it. It eliminates the tedious work but still lets the dev know what they’re doing.

I also think you should treat ai code as a pull request and actually review what it writes. My coworkers that do use it don’t really proofread, so it ends up having some bad practices and code smells.

I’d be inclined to try using it if it was smart enough to write my unit tests properly, but it’s great at double inserting the same mock and have 0 working unit tests.

I might try using it to generate some javadoc though… then when my org inevitably starts polling how much ai I use I won’t be in the gutter lol
