Oh yeah, of course. You can’t just trust it 100%. One time Claude gave me a piece of code that was a nasty bug that could have caused some serious issues. It was a one liner that deleted an employee from database by mere searching said employee with their name. Thankfully I caught it in the dev environment before it got into prod (assuming AQ missed it, too) and started deleting people. lol.

That’s pretty awesome.

Damn, sounds like it could do some wonders.

Nah, I’m good the way I do things. I have a good pace that has been working out very well for me :)

I don’t mess with any of those in-IDE assistants. I find them very intrusive and they make me less efficient. So many suggestions pop up and I don’t like that, and like you said, I get confused. The only time I thought one of them (codium) was somewhat useful is when I asked it to make tests for the file I was on. It did get all the positive tests correct, but all the negative ones wrong. Lol. So, I naturally default to the AI in the browser.

I don’t even know what aider is. Lol. There are so many assistants out there. My company created a wrapper for chatgpt and gave us unlimited number of tokens and told us to go ham.

Lmao. I don’t give a shit. I’ve been saving a ton of time ever since I started using it. It gobbles up CSS, HTML and JS like hotcakes, and I’m very much ok with that.

I’m telling you. It’s fantastic for the boring and repetitive garbage. Databases? Oh hell yeah, it does really well on that, too. You have no idea how much I hate working with SQL. The ONLY thing it still struggles with so far is negative tests. For some reason, every single AI I’ve ever tried did good on positive tests, but just plain bad in the negative ones.

If you know what you’re doing, AI is actually a massive help. You can make it do all the repetitive shit for you. You can also have it write the code and you either clean it or take the pieces that works for you. It saves soooooo much time and I freaking love it.
