> I'm actually very curious why AI use is such a bi-modal experience I think it's just that it's better at some things than others. Lucky for people who happen to be working in python/node/php/bash/sql/java probably unlucky for people writing Go and Rust (I'm hypothesising because I don't know Go or Rust nor have I ever used them but when the AI doesn't know something it REALLY doesn't know it, like it goes from being insanely useful to utterly useless). > I use AI autocomplete 0% of the time as I found that workflow was not as effective as me just writing code, but most of my most successful work using AI is a chat dialogue where I'm letting it build large swaths of the project a file or parts of a file at a time, with me reviewing and coaching. Me too, the way I use it is more like pair programming.
