Today an AI tool let me build a new tool from scratch.
I published it to a git repo with unit tests, great coverage, security scanning, and pretty decent documentation of how the tool works.
I estimate just coding the main tool would have been 2 or 3 days and all the other overhead would have been at least another day or two. So I did a week of work in a few hours today. Maybe it did 70%, maybe it did 42.5%, either way it was a massive improvement to the way I used to work.

- johann8384 2y agoYeah, there was one point where I told it there was an error and it said "Oh, my mistake, I'll publish the update to the repository" and I said "Did you publish the update, I don't see it" and it said "yes" and I said "How did you do that? I don't think you can use those tools" and it said "Oh yeah, my mistake, I am not able to access external tools like github and make changes for you but I can share the changes with you" I am paraphrasing of course. It was a little comical that all the sudden it switched from typing the artifacts to trying to tell me it committed the changes directly.
