I didn’t make this claim. I also have a personal rule that I will try something for at least 4 months actively before making my decision about it (programming language, new tools, or in this case AI assisted coding) I made the claim that in my area of expertise - I have found that *most of the time it is faster to write something myself than I write out really detailed md file / prompt. It becomes more tedious to express myself via natural language then it is with code when I want something very specific done. In these types of cases - writing the code myself, allows me to express the thing I want faster. Also, I like to code with the AI auto complete but still while this can be useful I sometimes disable it because it’s distracting and consistently incorrect with its predictions)

claim that i claimed you claimed: "for any coder to claim AI tools slow them down" --- claim you made: "One thing I’ve noticed though that actually coding (without the use of AI; maybe a bit of tab auto-complete) is that I’m actually way faster when working in my domain than I am when using AI tools." --- You did make that claim but I'm aware my approach would bring the defensiveness out of anyone :P

  > any coder to claim AI tools slow them down This is what you said - and I didn’t make this claim. I specifically said that in “my domain”. Meaning a code base I know fully well and own, and it’s a language, framework and patterns that I’ve worked with for years. For certain things - yes, it’s faster to do myself than write a long prompt with context (or a predefined one) because it’s faster to express what I want with the code than natural language.
