The question is simple. I wanted to get a general consensus on if people actually audit the code that they use from FOSS or open source software or apps.
Do you blindly trust the FOSS community? I am trying to get a rough idea here. Sometimes audit the code? Only on mission critical apps? Not at all?
Let’s hear it!
I’m actually planning to do an evaluation of a n ai code review tool to see what it can do. I’m actually somewhat optimistic that it could do this better than it can code
I really want to sic it on this one junior programmer who doesn’t understand that you can’t just commit ai generated slop and expect it to work. This last code review after over 60 pieces of feedback I gave up on the rest and left it as he needs to understand when ai generated slop needs help
Ai is usually pretty good at unit tests but it was so bad. Randomly started using a different mocking framework, it actually mocked entire classes and somehow thought that was valid to test them. Wasting tests on non-existent constructors no negative tests, tests without verifying anything. Most of all there were so many compile errors, yet he thought that was fine
