So far I found that AI is very good at writing the code as in translating english to computer code.
Instead of dealing with intricacies of directly writing the code, I explain the AI what are we trying to achieve next and what approach I prefer. This way I am still on top of it, I am able to understand the quality of the code it generated and I’m the one who integrates everything.
So far I found the tools that are supposed to be able to edit the whole codebase at once be useless. I instantly loose perspective when the AI IDE fiddles with multiple code blocks and does some magic. The chatbot interface is superior for me as the control stays with me and I still follow the code writing step by step.
