Another reason i think it’s bad is because while building something you build up a mental model of the structure. When someone else builds it you lose all that, which makes it harder to iterate on quickly
I mean there is the same problem with working with other peoples code, so it’s not a new problem in that sense.
yeah, i can agree with that.
what i'm finding is that when the agent makes code that works, i often can clean it up and make it more readable and efficient.
100% the thing that it does well is writing tedious simple algorithms. stuff like eliminating duplicates, removing obsolete data from a result set, and similar.
the idea that these tools are a silver bullet is pure marketing hype, but at the same time, they can help a lot in some parts of the process, and i'm learning what it can do, and when i know it can do it for me, it saves me the effort. this will make me more valuable to my employer and cement my economic situation's stability.
I remember you being enthusiastic about AI early on, but you don't seem to enjoy the vibecoding hype
