I’m old enough to remember being able to work at programming related tasks without any such tools. Is that not still a thing?

- dmd 10mo agoI obviously meant "work with it" not work in general. And as for old, I'm 47. I've been programming since I got my first C64 in 1985.
- jrussellaz 10mo agoHey dmd! Same here, 47 and got my start programming on a Commodore 64. What’s up, brother?

- ImPostingOnHN 10mo agoIf a tool craps out after 30 minutes every day, and someone knows they can't rely upon it to work when you needed it, they tend to change workflow to avoid the tool entirely. Context switching between AI-assisted coding and "oops, my tool is refusing to function, guess I'll stop using it" is often worse for productivity than never using the AI to begin with.
- theshrike79 10mo agoI didn't enjoy spending two nights fighting with a shitty API and trying to figure out why it doesn't work. Now I can do it with Claude within minutes, while watching my TV shows on the second monitor and get directly to the good bits, the actual "business logic" of whatever I'm building.
