Especially if you’re fluent in an editor like Vim, Emacs, Sublime, have setup intellisense and snippets, know the language really well and are very familiar with the codebase.
- kasey_junk 2y agoWhich were all tools I had to learn and slowed me down while I was learning them. So I’m extremely sympathetic to the idea that ai can be a productivity enhancer. But those had obvious benefits that made the learning cost sensible. “I can describe in precise English, a for loop and have the computer write it” flat sounds backwards.
