Side clarification - I take it this means FPC is open to AI contributions?
That may help break the logjam, but it may upset some people too.
It's a doubled edged sword.
Yes it's great to get things done quickly. But flooding the FPC team with even
more MRs at this time, seems to be a slippery slope.
On the bright side, AI is great at doing what most developers hate.
Writing tests or letting it do TDD. In such cases MRs are much easier to
review. More test cases validating logic is a good thing long term.
If I see a MR that has test cases included, I'll be more inclined to merge,
this is for sure.
Whether it was generated by AI or not is entirely irrelevant as far as I am
concerned. In the end it is my responsability anyway if I approve the MR.
That's a fundamental rule for me:
The human doing the commit is the one responsible.
(Which is why I never let Claude commit anything)
