Refactoring With AI - Thoughtworks Technology Podcast

Can AI improve the quality of our code? A recent white paper published by code analysis company CodeScene - "Refactoring vs. Refuctoring: Advancing the state of AI-automated code improvements" - highlighted some significant challenges: in tests, AI solutions only delivered functionally correct refactorings 37% of the time. However, there are nevertheless opportunities. The white paper suggests it might be possible to dramatically boost the success rate of AI refactoring to 90%.
In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Adam Tornhill, CTO and Founder of CodeScene, joins Thoughtworks' Rebecca Parsons (CTO Emerita), Birgitta Böckeler (Global Lead for AI-assisted software delivery) and Martin Fowler (Chief Scientist and author of the influential Refactoring book) to discuss all things AI and code. From refactoring and code quality to the benefits and limitations of coding assistants, this is an essential conversation for anyone that wants to understand how AI is going to shape the way we build software.

Great job! I find 37% to be exciting and motivating; And this is with today's models and the most naive prompting approaches.
