mitsuhiko · x · 2026-09-27
The origin of the discussion: antirez asks mitsuhiko why he bothers reading AI-generated code as long as the design matches what he wanted — with the design expressed and verified via prompts. mitsuhiko responds that it's about comfort: he stops reading only when he trusts the model's output enough, and he doesn't yet have that confidence with Astra.
