I actually think that it benefits high performance workers as AI can do a lot of heavy lifting that frees them to focus on things where their skills make a difference.
Also, for less skilled or less experienced developers, they will have a harder time spotting the mistakes and inconsistencies generated by AI. This can actually become a productivity sink.

- mewpmewp2 1y agoWith AI code I find it very easy to understand as I prompted it, I know what to expect, I know what it will likely do. Far easier than other people code.
- jessoteric 1y agothe main issue is that you end up looking down the barrel of begging claude, for the fifth time this session, to do it right- or just do it yourself in half the total time you've wasted so far. at least, this is what i typically end up with.
- surgical_fire 1y agoTypically, I've been asking it to do "heavy lifting" for me. It generally generates defective code, but it doesn't really matter all that much, it is still useful that it is mostly right, and I only need to make a few adjustments. It saves me a lot of typing. Would I pay for it? Probably not. But it is included in my IntelliJ subscription, so why not? It is there already.
