    For my projects, finding the cause of a bug is rarely a problem once it’s reported. It’s fixing it in a way that doesn’t negatively impact things upstream or downstream that’s a pain.

    How’s AI supposed to help when we’ve got to negotiate with several other stakeholders on what changes we’re going to make?

      So because you talk to people sometimes, there’s nothing AI can assist on? That doesn’t really make any sense

        I think op meant that when you know your project and infrastructure debugging is not that big of an issue. Solving a problem affecting multiple parties can be more complicated.

          Yeah fixing that one problem isn’t an issue. It’s that the fix probably affects some other service. When you’re dealing with a bunch of integrated systems, some of which are over a decade old, bugs aren’t just fixing a few lines of code in your part and calling it good.

          I’m sure it can be useful for smaller self contained projects. A lot cheaper and easier to review the AIs changes on those too.
