Move Fast Break Nothing: Dedy Kredo
Nov 8, 2023 · 13:01
Dedy Kredo, co-founder and CPO of CodiumAI, argues that code generation needs a GAN-like architecture with a separate code integrity critic, and that behavior coverage is a more useful metric than code coverage. He demonstrates CodiumAI's IDE extensions (200,000 installs) on the open-source AutoScraper project (5,000 GitHub stars with no tests), automatically mapping behaviors, generating tests for happy paths and edge cases, and using reflection to auto-fix failures. The tool then enhances code with deep improvements (performance, security) and, via a PR assistant, catches a forgotten API key vulnerability. Kredo closes with a personal note about the Hamas attack on Israel, showing his co-founder on reserve duty while CodiumAI usage continues to rise.
