22% less issues for free is bad?
3 comments

No, but 22% of tackled issues not being resolved correctly hints at how bad it is. Id guess that in these 22%, most of them have bugs or miss edge cases, considering it completely failed to solve 80%.

If someone gets 20% on an exam I don't go "great, thats 20% of the way there!!!", instead I go "you clearly didnt attend, try again next time".

Sure, if little Bobby gets a 20% I’ll whoop his ass, but if the inanimate hunk of metal on my desk gets a 20% I might start to take notice.

Sure, its sorta cool and promising for technology in the future. But as of now, we don't know how badly it might fuck up the other 78% of cases. If it fucks up like 50% of cases so badly that it takes more time for the devs to fix than it would usually, then it's a liability.
It’s not free.
Fewer.
