alt Hacker NewsInteresting, every developer I've spoken to is extremely skeptical and has not found any actual productivity boosts.
Ok that's not true. I know one junior who is very excited, but considering his regular code quality I would not put much weight on his opinion.
I am using AI a lot to do tasks that just would not get done because they would take too long. Also, getting it to iterate on a React web application meant I can think about what I want it to do rather than worry about all the typing I would have to do. Especially powerful when moving things around, hand-written code has a "mental load" to move that telling an AI to do it does not. Obviously not everything is 100% but this is the most productive I have felt for a very long time. And I've been in the game for 25 years.
