If so, I’d like to know about that questions:

  • Do you use an code autocomplete AI or type in a chat?
  • Do you consider environment damage that use of AIs can cause?
  • What type of AI do you use?
  • Usually, what do you ask AIs to do?

    When I use it, I use it to create single functions that have known inputs and outputs.

    If absolutely needed, I use it to refactor old shitty scripts that need to look better and be used by someone else.

    I always do a line-by-line analysis of what the AI is suggesting.

    Any time I have leveraged AI to build out a full script with all desired functions all at once, I end up deleting most of the generated code. Context and “reasoning” can actually ruin the result I am trying to achieve. (Some models just love to add command line switch handling for no reason. That can fundamental change how an app is structured and not always desired.)
