I've started using AI on my CTOs request. ChaptGPT business licence. My experience so far: it gives me working results really quick, but the devil lies in the details. It takes so much time fine tuning, debugging and refactoring, that I'm not really faster. The code works, but I would have never implemented it that way, if I had done it myself.

Looking forward for the hype dying, so I can pick up real software engineering again.

There are still employers bitching about how no one wants to work anymore. I doubt any lessons will be learned here.

it makes sense to someone like me who is not a dev but works with coding at times, I don't get the experience to be quick with it.

  • Your code will be significantly more insecure. Expect anything exposed to world+dog to be hacked far quicker than your own work.
  • You will code even slower than if you just did the work yourself.
  • You will fail to grow as a coder, and will even see your existing skills erode.

Yea

Vibe coding is for us armatures, who want the occasional hello world

I use it for programing home assistant, since I just can't get my head around the YAML.
