..and works very well if you do know what you are doing
That's the issue. AI coding agents are only as good as the dev behind the prompt. It works for you because you have an actual background in software engineering of which coding is just one part of the process. AI coding agents can't save the inexperienced from themselves. It just helps amateurs shoot themselves in the foot faster while convincing them they're a marksman.
Google has a long history of using dark patterns in their privacy settings to mislead users. There's a reason all the privacy settings for Google products are in scattered locations and have vague and ambiguous descriptions as to exactly what data is being gathered.
You caught us!... and turns out "we don't have all the data" isn't exactly the pitch VCs want to hear
Jokes apart, I'd rather admit we are working with incomplete data than pretend otherwise. We are probably seeing 5-10% of what's actually happening out there. Most AI code bugs die quietly in projects that never see production. And it is perhaps better that way.
[not]Fun fact: A colleague just told me how a rogue claude agent ran `rm -rf ~/` in a background process earlier today. It might become #166 in our report.
Well I don't deal with VCs but from a technical perspective that's is an odd way to phrase it. The perfectly valid explanation in your response is what people the tech scene would expect but if this is a VC money grab then I guess you know your intended audience.
A society that balances cause and effect! Money is also balanced! Money flows perfectly through multiple lifetimes! Being respected ultimately leads to balance!
Only because people kept writing horrible code and using Perl as an excuse. Perl is like C, your code is as readable and maintainable as you choose to make it. It's like that old saying about blaming your tools. Just stop writing crap code.
