My problem with ai assisted coding is if I use it to scaffold hundreds of lines of code, I the. Need to review every single line because bugs can be so subtle. Imagine for example Go’s for loop reference footgun. I really don’t know if AI can handle these cases or similar cases that I don’t know about. So this is potentially more work than just writing for scratch. Using it as a smarter autocomplete is where I see a lot of productivity boosts. It replaces snippets, it completes full lines or blocks, and because verifying block likely takes less time than writing it, you can easily get a 100%+ speed up.
