It is very nice not having to write code from scratch by hand, but I have noticed that by not doing so, my innate familiarity of the code absolutely craters. Making manual changes to the code suddenly becomes a much more tedious and less confident process, and in many cases I am not sure that it's a net benefit (at least in a situation like mine, where there is no oversight and things go straight to prod.)
- zainhoda 3y agoSame for me. I wonder if this is going to follow a similar pattern that we went through with C vs. Assembly. There was a period where everyone coded in assembly and then C came along but people still hand-coded certain parts of applications in assembly to make them more efficient. Then eventually when C compiler optimizations got good enough and computers got faster, few people bother with assembly.
