IMO, using AI to advise or guide you is the way to go, as it’s not actually touching the code. But AI doing the work is a disaster that will lead to epic amounts of technical debt because it is impossible for AI to utilize judgement or taste. I have been using AI more and more lately to just advise, to find, to make me aware of other options. I still do 100% of the work. So while AI hasn’t made me faster, it has made me more flexible by kicking me out of ruts and making me aware of alternative paths to reaching an objective. I will not let AI touch my code until/unless it acquires judgement and taste. But until then, it’s turning out to be one hell of a gopher and rubber ducky.
