I wonder what would happen if I’d enable them all at the same time.

    The conversational part is really good though. I love that it has access to my code without having to paste it so I can just say “on line 274” or something. It’s apparently not good at generating code but if you were using it for that you should learn how to code. But it’s really good at fixing errors and issues.

      I don’t use chat, as it never really have been more than a digital rubber ducky for me.

      And it’s not really generating lots of code. Most of the time it’s just generating constructors/factory functions, or something easy like summing a vector of integers.

      My philosophy is that my brain comes first, if the AI did what I was thinking of, then press tab. I ain’t debugging a AI made function for two hours when I can make it in an hour

        It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.

        I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.

          Yeah. It’s really just “”“smarter”“” auto complete. Quite good at pattern completion like simple constructors or switch cases with one change.

          I get the same feeling of using it wrong, but I mostly think it’s AI bros chilling the tech too much. Or that I am a boomer

            Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.

            I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.

            I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.
