La règle du jour-jeté-à-la-poubelle : lis le code avant de laisser ton IA en écrire
The article discusses a developer's experience with AI-generated code duplication, emphasizing the importance of reviewing existing code before creating new solutions. The author realized that skipping a simple search phase led to redundant work that could have been avoided. A disciplined approach of checking existing code first can prevent wasted effort and maintain code quality.
- ▪The author's AI agent duplicated an existing component because neither the developer nor the agent checked for pre-existing code.
- ▪The duplication occurred in a well-structured component that was properly named and located nearby in the codebase.
- ▪A two-minute search using basic command-line tools could have prevented a full day of wasted development effort.
- ▪The author advocates for a 'Phase 0' step involving a quick code search before starting any new coding task.
- ▪Skipping this verification step led to redundant code that undermined productivity and code integrity.
