A LinkedIn post which reads: "People advocating against usage of AI in coding is laughable. Yes please write line by line by hand, and loose at least a few hours doing it so. Its cool for employees that justify their working hours of course. But as a software developer that wants to get many things done is impossible not to use AI Guys, this is the future! AI coding is a great tool to use. Use your braining to visualize the entire thing, then use AI to start with the boilerplate code." The image is a linkedin comment which reads: "Do not fucking use AI. Just don't. You have been given a brain. At least most of you. Use it!"

Dude, writing code is the fun part, reviewing code written by others is time-consuming, difficult and boring. Why would you automate the fun out of coding and force yourself to review even more shit?

    Using AI on libraries you know inside and out (you know all the attributes of the classes you're working with and you know what the arguments are for every function) feels great. Using AI on libraries you're not familiar with will simply cause you to lose time because AI will give you code that returns different object types than the library is expecting. Then, instead of understanding why you're asking it to fix it, it will try variations of similar code and make up an excuse as to why now it's fixed, despite it having no clue what the problem was. Even if the code "runs" you'll have to refactor it anyways because code is not one size fits all.

    It can be useful to sparking creativity but if you're not reading documentation you're just looking busy while not accomplishing much
