Learning Experiences
Feb. 18th, 2026 10:09 pmI am working with the code assist AI at work to try to clean up our Gradle scripts. It did a magnificent job of doing so, but managed to delete some instructions from the scripts that we use and that it didn't realize were being used. Oops.
But that's no problem. I'll tell the AI to restore the missing parts from the version that's saved in our Git repository.
If only it hadn't accidentally discarded all of the changes in one of the files when it retrieved the backup copy. Oops again.
So I have the AI remaking the changes that it discarded.
And a new appreciation for knowing when to back up code changes to defend them from the AI.
