Can we now admit that AI coding hype was overplayed, just like every other LLM application being foisted upon us. An AI IDE or coding assistant? Yuk. No thanks

An AI IDE or coding assistant? Yuk. No thanks. I have enough frustrations with normal IDEs and their overgrown spellcheck mentality.
- pingou 1y agoAI has made me more productive. The experience of using it may be quite frustrating, unfortunately I don't think the market cares, as long as it makes us more productive, most programmers will be forced to use it more one way or another, so I doubt it's just an overplayed hype.

- pingou 1y agoWell GP was talking about overplayed AI coding hype, I understood the "hype" as being mostly financial (with the crazy valuation of Nvidia for example), but if it does significantly raise the productivity per $ spent then there is no hype. It doesn't mean the technology doesn't also have downsides. But many people are actually arguing that it doesn't personally make them more productive, so are more likely to call it a hype.
