GoKawiilFormer Meta engineer says heavy AI coding use produces fragile software
A software engineer who says he was laid off from Meta in May describes being pressured to generate most of his code using AI tools, eventually reaching 100% AI-generated code at his next job. He argues this approach has led to brittle, poorly scaling code, citing an example of a top programmer submitting unscalable JavaScript-based hover effects instead of simple CSS selectors.
