As a designer/non-coder, it feels like I'm just pair programming all the time.
Stuff that usually took me a long time like regexes or Excel/Sheets formulas now take like two minutes. AND I'm learning how they work in the process. I can actually write regexes now that used to be wildly confusing to me a couple of months ago, because Copilot / ChatGPT is walking through the process, making mistakes, and me prodding it along.
I feel like it doesn't matter how "mindblowing" or "a big deal" this tool is — it's a great learning tool for me and helps me do my work 100x faster.
- IshKebab 4y agoI don't feel like it's any faster for things I'm not really already familiar with. For instance I asked it to write me a Makefile. It wrote one. It looked plausible but I don't know enough about Make to know. So I had to do loads of reading about Make just to verify that the AI answer was correct. Basically the same amount as just learning anyway.
