The key to success in the world of coding assistants is to be a good manager. The AI is a very fast, but also very stupid, programmer. It will make a ton of architectural mistakes, and AI, more often than not pick the most mid solution possible. If you are a good code architect, and if you can tell the difference between a mid pattern and a good one, and force the AI to do things right, you will rise to the top.
- aaveragedev 9mo agoYes but I am jr. dev so there are certain implementations which I have not seen or not been familiarized with which is why there are times where it's difficult for me to notice certain code which might break in future for certain cases but due to my inexperience it is a bit difficult to catch it.
- adamzwasserman 9mo agoI admire your honesty. I suspect that attitude will take you far. Exercism.io is excellent for exactly the experience you're seeking. The mentored tracks force you to see multiple solutions to the same problem, which builds pattern recognition faster than production work alone. You start noticing when code "feels" fragile before you can articulate why.
- aaveragedev 8mo agoThanks this looks like a helpful tool. The part where I notice the code is fragile and work for a better solution is where I get stuck in AI development. I will definitely explore this thing more.
