Software Engineering Reports

Learn to code. Go?

"For a while now, software engineering has undergone a profound, 
fundamental shift: Where we once wrote most lines of code by hand, we 
now ask AI coding assistants and agents to generate large swaths of code 
for us.

But AI needs supervision, so it is we, the humans, who must read the 
generated code, clean it up, and verify that it does what we want it to 
do. And because AI has a limited view of the greater context in which 
the code it generates must operate, it is we who define the system 
architecture, design the boundaries between services, and ensure the 
overall safety and reliability of our production environments."

In this paradigm, the things that matter most in our developer tools are 
shifting, too.

Why Go is an Ideal Language for AI-Assisted Software Engineering

Note:

While engineers write AI logic in Python, the underlying computations 
are almost always executed in C++.
