this type of thing really shows llm’s to me. its great at creating this busy work but not so much with fixing it. so it can find them and we know microsoft is all in on ai coding, but it does not seem to help fixing them quickly. they are spending so much money to muck things up more and make more expense.

Actually, if you know what needs fixing, LLMs can accelerate the fixing process quite a bit too.

The problem is: LLMs don’t know what they don’t know, so they’ll declare “good enough” and it’s up to the LLM operator to call BS and give them additional context to ensure they keep going until ALL the applicable concerns are addressed.
