This. If you use it enough, eventually you can’t code without it
If you're not coding with AI, you're going to fall behind the productivity of your peers. It doesn't matter which one you use.
I just don’t agree with this tbh. More code != more productivity imo.
Although, thinking about it, I’ll concede that asking AI questions about syntax or debugging is WAY faster, so I guess there’s room for nuance. I was only thinking of the auto completion
Making an outline or exploring ideas to figure out how to implement what you want and planning are all powerful tools of ai
I can agree with that. I’m a bit jaded on AI because of the work I do at tech companies and having it pushed on me for every tiny thing, but it is without a doubt useful.
