We are seeking insights for an article on when to use AI coding assistants and when to avoid them. We want perspectives from experienced software engineers who have navigated the boundaries of using AI in production environments. We welcome personal expertise, examples, and frameworks for auditing AI-generated code.
Questions include:
- At what point does a project’s complexity or security requirements make using an AI coding assistant a liability?
- How does reliability differ between greenfield work and maintaining legacy codebases?
- Should the rules for using AI assistants vary based on an engineer's seniority?
- What red flags suggest AI-generated code may be hallucinating logic?
- What legal or IP risks should prompt turning an AI assistant off?
- When does auditing AI-generated code outweigh the speed benefits, and how do you measure that ROI?
