alt Hacker NewsI've always been more interested in the computer science and software engineering aspects. I did enjoy writing code occasionally, but overall, I was wishing I had some kind of neural implant to convert my thoughts into code. Coding agents are now good enough that I consider that dream as realized, and with that benefit that I do not actually need any implant in my brain. :)
Interesting, I've found AI to be further from the goal of converting my thoughts to code than writing code myself.
English is so ambiguous that by the time I provide sufficient context to the prompt it's taken more typing than writing the code would have been. That's not even accounting for the output often needing further prompting to manipulate into what was intended, especially if I try to be light on initial context.
I like it for quick proof of concept stuff though, the details don't matter so much then.
