this is a bad thing?
deciding on data structures, data flows and abstractions to build is the hard bit of being a software developer, which works perfectly well on paper
turning that into the code is the easy bit, with or without a boilerplate generator
- skp1995 3y agoHi I am the cofounder of CodeStory! In my experience I spend way too much time fixing the output of AI assistants rather than working on the next thing. It slows me down, even after the speed ups. And generating the right code at first shot is not something I would expect from any engineer (unless we are working with compiled languages), giving access to simple tools like linters and static analysis tools goes a long way, not just for humans but for these AI agents to improve their work.
