This has been a huge frustration for me, but the wild thing is that we've built up so many tools over time that help humans only for AI coding tools to wild west it and not use them. The best AI coding tools will read docs websites, terminal error messages, write/run tests, etc. But we have so many better tools that none of them seem to use:
* profilers
* debuggers
* linters
* static analyzers
* language server protocol
* wire protocol analyzers
* decompilers
* call graph analyzers
* database structure crawlers
In the absence of models that can do perfect oneshot software engineering, we're gonna have to fall back on well-integrated tool usage, and nobody seems to do that well yet.

- 20k 1y agoI think a lot of these use cases for AI are incidental byproducts of the actual goal, which is to replace software developers. They're trying to salvage some kind of utility. Because I agree that the AI tools in use are marginal improvements, or downgrades in a lot of cases I've heard people say they use AI agents to set up a new project with git. Just use tortoisegit or something, its free and takes one click - its just using AI for the sake of it
