Honestly, it’s a weird position. On one hand, I despise the popular ideas behind it. Complete lack of concern for security, governance, workflow, … it’s like a stack of toddlers in a trench coat, acting like professionals.
On the other hand, I’m rather convinced that there’s a “right way.” What if I implemented a swarm of agents to do mundane tasks, sandboxed them, only gave them read-access to non-sensitive assets, gave them write access to only secure, version controlled locations… maybe I let them push code into repositories, but only under feature branches. …
Hallucinations are just part of the technology, meaning you need to have really good governance. Yet still, I think there’s value in starting from whatever and AI can scrap up for a project — rather than starting from scratch. I imagine there has to be a way to actually use this tool professionally. Something sobering, not drunk on AI kool-aid. Yet still, it’s demotivating given the cloud of bullshit surrounding the topic right now.
No, but should they? Yes.
It’s a privacy nightmare and the risk of something going wrong is quite high.
But, it is also a very interesting piece of software. I haven’t tried it out yet, and I am not sure I will, but I do get why people use it.

If you spend that much effort, you might just do it without AI. Same amount of work, and you know it’s not going to have non-deterministic behavior.
