Ai blog post reaction...
I wonder if we could have some discussion about the blog post entitled: "What we learned using Ai agents to refactor a monolith"?
First off, I have to say that this is NOT written for the average user. From the title to the "Here's the situation:" 2nd paragraph, I'm already lost. "Go monolith?" "foundation of our product for years?" That's fine if this wasn't written at an average customer level, but the reaction on mastodon was VERY negative https://1password.social/@1password/116569353856438624 and I find myself having trouble not sliding there too.
The diagram that shows "Human - Owns all key decisions" then dumps into an Execute block with only Agents mentioned is VERY concerning for an average 1PW user. Who looks over that code? If this is about improving 1PW developer productivity (which most Ai is all about), I'm pretty confident that EVERY 1PW customer would say: I hired you to provide world class security - if suddenly you want to water that down for some productivity increases- I don't approve!
So let me ask a few really basic questions:
1- Is this putting Ai generated code into the mainline 1Password functionality?
2- What are we talking about here with this Go monolith? Does that handle my information? Does that run on your servers?
3- How you are achieving reliability standards comparable to avionics or medical device software?
4- Why won't this lead to a 1PW breach/vulnerability?
5- For customers reacting negatively to use of Ai in a product we trust with our digital lives. Is developer productivity winning over security? What do you have to say to all the people boiling this down to "Ai being used to develop 1PW software WILL reduce the security that we've learned to trust"
Maybe you should write a customer facing blog post that answers questions like these.
Regards,
Dan
