> AI as a Complementary Pairing Partner That's how I've been using it. I treat it as a partner that has a "wide and shallow" initial base, but the ability to "dive deep," when I need it. Basically, I do a "shallow triage," to figure out what I want to focus on, then I ask it to "dive deep," on my chosen topic. I haven't been using it to learn new languages, but I have been using it to learn new concepts and techniques. Right now, I'm learning up on implementing a webauthn backend and passkey integration into my app. It's been instrumental. Coming along great. I hadn't had any previous experience, and it's helping me to learn. I should note that it has given me wrong examples; notably, it assumed a deprecated dependency version, that I had to debug and figure out a fix. That was actually a good thing, as it helped me to learn the "ins and outs" a bit better. I'm still not convinced that I'd let AI just go ahead and ship an application from scratch, without any intervention on my part. It often makes mistakes; not serious ones, but ones that would be bad, if they shipped.
