Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I actually tried letting ChatGPT-4o write some tests the other day.

Easily 50% of the tests were wrong. They ignored DB uniqueness constrains or even datatypes. In a few cases, they just hallucinated field names that didn't exist.

I ended up spending just as much time cleaning up the cruft as writing them. I could easily see someone just starting out letting the code go through.
