Working with AI is like working with an ADHD intern that says they understand the problem but then gets distracted by every possible thing and then tries to gaslight you into thinking their mistakes are your fault.
Its exhausting, infuriating, and a waste of time.
- jjav 1y agoFunny, in that just moments ago I was describing AI coder to friends as a very drunk intern high on crack. My experience is that using AI as a fancy code completion tool works very well and saves me a lot of time. But, trying to let it define how to do things aka vibe coding, is a recipe for endless disaster. AI coder can do great things but it needs someone to first define the architecture and forcefully guide it in the right direction at every step. If let loose, things go haywire.

I generally find the whole process to be more frustrating and time consuming than just writing the code myself. I am not interested in entire new architectural paradigms required to enable a mediocre code ad-lib bot.
