Beware: letting coding agents fix TS errors with 'as any' quietly kills compiler feedback
gethackteam · x · 2026-09-23
A caution about compiler feedback in the coding-agent loop: if an agent fixes a TypeScript error by adding 'as any' or suppression comments, you may have just removed the feedback signal rather than fixing the problem. The author argues new casts and suppressions introduced by agents deserve review as careful as the code they make compile.
