- crucialfelix 2y ago"An e-bike for the mind" as Steve Jobs might have said.
- ramijames 2y agoAnd you get less tired. I can complete more work because I'm not always getting stuck in minutia. I can focus on architecture, structure, and refactoring instead of line-by-line writing of code. I'm not saying that I don't like writing code. I'm just saying that doing a lot of it can be mentally exhausting. Sometimes I'd just prefer to ship feature-complete stuff on-time and on-budget, then go back to my kids and wife without feeling like my brain is mush.
- computerfriend 2y agoI have a motorbike, yet I prefer cycling because the exercise feels good and is good for me.
- __mharrison__ 2y agoI have compared AI to an emtb. Was riding one on slick rock trail in Moab which has some areas with consequences earlier this year. If you don't know how to handle a bike, the ebike won't help you in these situations. (You might even get yourself in a tricky spot). But if you know how to ride, it can be really fun. Same with code. If you know how to code it can make you much more productive. If you don't know how to code, you get into tricky spots...
- yoyohello13 2y agoThis is actually a great analogy. You get to accomplish a lot more, much faster, but you lose much of the benefit to your fitness.
- ativzzz 2y ago> you lose much of the benefit to your fitness If you're biking for the purpose of fitness then this is a downside, but if your goal is to see more and go further, then it's an acceptable tradeoff. Similar to coding. If you're writing code because you enjoy writing code, it's less fun. If you're writing code to build stuff, AI will help you build faster
