Ask HN: How to write quality code if now we are mostly prompting?

1•hhcoder•1h ago
I have been writing in English using AI instead of writing line by line for a while now.. not sure if there is going back but, how do you ensure you have quality code?

... write the code yourself?

Seems like a pretty easy solution so many people overlook when coming up with increasingly asinine rube Goldberg like solutions to problems that are inherent to relying on spicy autocomplete.

This whole obsession is like if a large proportion of very loud bus drivers all just decided one day that the way to be better at their job is if they say (both figuratively and literally, very loudly) "Jesus take the wheel".

Then of course they have to deal with the obvious and predictable outcomes, with their own ridiculous solutions. "Are you tired of Jesus running red lights with pedestrians crossing? Install our patented pedshield mattress to the front of your bus today!"
