Just make sure you’re validating everything you produce with it.
Comment on Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower

True and not true at the same time. Using agents indeed often don’t work, mostly when I’m trying to do the wrong thing. Because then, AI agent does not say “the way you do it is overly complicated, it does not make any sense”, but instead it says: “excellent idea, here are X steps I need to do to make it happen”. It wasted my time many times, but it also guided me quickly though some problems that would take hours to research. Some of my projects wouldn’t have happened if not without AI.

This says way more about you than it says about AI tools

I was talking mostly about side projects. I don’t have much time for them right now. Thanks to LLMs, I can spend those few hours a week on doing instead of reading what is the best way to do X in ever changing world of web front-end frameworks. I just sit down, ask: “how is it usually done?”, tweak it a bit and finish.
Example: I have published an app on flathub a while ago. Doing it from scratch is damn complicated. “Screw it” is what I would say in pre LLMs era after a few hours ;)
