I have to be honest. I’ve written a lot of pro-ai / dark-software articles and I think Im due an update, cause it worked great, till it didn’t.
I could write a lot about what I’ve tried and learnt, but so far this article is a very based view and matches my experience.
I definitely suffered under the unnecessary complexity and wished to never’ve used AI at moments and even with OPUS 4.6 I could feel how it was confused and couldn’t understand business objectives really. It became way faster to jump in code, clean it up and fix it myself. I’m not sure yet where and how the line is and where it will be.
