How Im Using AI as a Developer

I'm changing the way I use AI tools!

Hi! I agree. The main danger of AI is deteriorating my brain. I write tons of code in no time. Without solving a single problem. Even if code doesn’t work, I ask chat to solve the issue and in most cases it does. I noticed most of time I am installing dependencies instead of programming. It will lead to ‘me becoming an AIdiot’ Greetings from neovim hard core user!

After years working in hardware design, AI Chat tools have been really valuable for getting into fullstack and devops. In my daily job I try to draw the line in using AI tools like a context aware personalized and instant stack overflow, that suggest fixes and helps me understand things, rather than my slave programmer that I just review it's PRs. But I also think that even though I still taking up my pen and paper for thinking about business logic or features with some moving parts, for hands on coding, I feel that copilot autocomplete tries to hijack me. I will follow your suggestion and disable it for non repetitive tasks.

In my experience, AI hasn’t been good enough to worry about. It just helps with labor work, some debugging, and brainstorming. And editing emails 😀

I feel more efficient but not too dependent.

Only use GPT tools to replace the search engine.
You'll be quicker and more engaged in the software you're building, resulting in a higher quality product.

I really like to use AI to explain me some concept I want to learn. Having the same problem as you described after i started to learn go and noticed that not able to write simple rangle loop with asking chatgpt.
