My stance on AI-assisted software development 🔗
I’m actually pretty chill on this matter
When I’m working
- When working with stuffs that I don’t really love doing, I’ll have AI supports me. It can be a predictive model that generate short pieces of code for me (Copilot, Cursor Tab).
- When scaffolding new screen/flow from a design, I’ll often let an Agentic editor take a shot at it.
- I don’t like to have AI debugging my app, as it is usually a tight loop between updating the code and inspecting the execution. I would ask the agent questions, however
When I’m doing personal projects
- I try not to use AI as much as possible during coding. This is my learning time, and by writing the code myself I improve my own skill
- I’ll consult the AI on direction & maybe scaffold the project a little bit. It really is just a way to kickstart myself into a problem space
