AI software development and backpressure
I’ve been a professional software engineer for 30 years, and AI has changed things a great deal in the last year or two.
One big thing is that we can now produce code that’s probably fine, but has to be reviewed and tested, faster than we can do that reviewing and testing. How do you deal with that?
My favourite LLM and I wrote an essay together, with animated diagrams, even, explaining how one of the solutions to this is backpressure.
Or in plain language, slow down and stop swamping me.
