So why are you using the tools? Personal curiosity? Workplace mandate?
I've made measurably more and faster progress on both professional and personal projects since adopting these tools. Sometimes assisted is less productive than unassisted, but the net gain is pretty obvious to me.

- throwaway422432 6mo agoThis. An AI is like delegating it to the junior programmer you don't have. You spend 5 minutes writing the spec rather than an hour coding. It's usually something you could do yourself, and just can't get motivated to type out the code in the moment.
- slopinthebag 6mo agoYep...same I use the tools, but I'm under no delusions that I'm not just being lazy. I could just do it myself, and in some cases it would take roughly the same amount of time, but I can scroll TikTok while it dutifully churns out code.
- ytoawwhra92 6mo agoThat's a productivity gain in my book.
- sph 6mo agoNo, it allows you to procrastinate on thinking, which is very different than laziness.
- ofjcihen 6mo agoEh, no, it’s laziness :)
