That's kind of outside the software development discussion but glad you're enjoying it.

    As a developer

    • I can jot down a bunch of notes and have ai turn it into a reasonable presentation or documentation or proposal
    • zoom has an ai agent which is pretty good about summarizing a meeting. It usually just needs minor corrections and you can send it out much faster than taking notes
    • for coding I mostly use ai like autocomplete. Sometimes it’s able to autocomplete entire code blocks
    • for something new I might have ai generate a class or something, and use it as a first draft where I then make it work

    I’ve had success with:

    • dumping email threads into it to generate user stories,
    • generating requirements documentation templates so that everyone has to fill out the exact details needed to make the project a success
    • generating quick one-off scripts
    • suggesting a consistent way to refactor a block of code (I’m not crazy enough to let it actually do all the refactoring)
    • summarize the work done for a slide deck and generate appropriate infographics

    Essentially, all the stuff that I’d need to review anyway, but use of AI means that actually generating the content can be done in a consistent manner that I don’t have to think about. I don’t let it create anything, just transform things in blocks that I can quickly review for correctness and appropriateness. Kind of like getting a junior programmer to do something for me.
