I'm an Associate Software Developer at Scott Logic, based in our Newcastle Office.
Podcast
In this episode, I'm joined by Dean Kerr and Amy Laws to discuss 'The Experiment' – a four‑week study we ran to explore how AI really affects software development. Instead of synthetic benchmarks, the project team tackled genuine issues in an open‑source project, alternating between AI‑assisted work and going completely 'cold turkey'.
Artificial Intelligence
Our team set out to investigate if we could use Binoculars, a method of detecting LLM-generated text, to detect AI-written code, and learnt some valuable lessons on the importance of data quality along the way.
Artificial Intelligence
Many of us are now using Generative AI to produce code, but what impact is this having on code quality? By analysing the data contained in PRs, our team has built a tool to investigate this.
