If so, I’d like to know about that questions:
- Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
- Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
- What type of AI do you use?
- Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?
If so, I’d like to know about that questions:
Single function text prediction, class boilerplate, some refactoring.
It’s decent when you inherit outrageously bad legacy code and you want better comments and variable names than “A, x, i”, etc.
You do have to do it within an editor that highlights all changes so you can carefully review, though.
Not so much a productivity boost, but rather a bad intern you can delegate boring, easy tasks to. I’d rather review that kind of code than write it, but of you’re the other way around, it’s a punishment.
Maybe naming single-letter variables I can see being easier to review than to do.
Any other kind of refactoring though, IDE refactoring tools are instantaneous and deterministic.
When the code your have to deal with is an ASP (not .NET) created by apes throwing shit in a wall, the kind of holistic bullshit an AI makes is an improvement.
