Yeah. AI 100% makes me more productive and by a good bit. I used it to write a section of code today to export all the information my program gathers about a system to a json file. Woulda taken me 20 minutes but chatgpt did it in seconds.

It also, in the same snippet, introduced a breaking change I didn't ask for in the original code. I only copied the json part; I just happened to notice the change in the code it wrong. It added a fork bomb lol

    That's the thing though - I find that what it saves me in time writing it costs me in reviewing. I hate reviewing.

    I've cut down on that by only giving it tasks that are reviewed automatically.

    "Spit this into a json"

    It gives me the code, I continue with my program knowing exactly what is where in the json and if I get a parsing error or something I know exactly where to look. TBH, though, for things like that I must have an error rate lower than 5%

    Ask it to configure a reverse proxy for a cors sensitive application, though, and I think I'd rather die
