Comment on ChatGPT is down worldwide, conversations disappeared for users
sobchak@programming.dev 5 weeks agoI find it detrimental to my productivity when integrated into an editor/IDE. I’ve found the “autocomplete” causes subtle bugs that I end up overlooking because I’m trying to go fast and putting too much trust in the generated lines/snippets. Tracing down these bugs becomes a huge time-sink. I do use chatbots in the browser for various things; mostly as a kind of “search” for alternative ways of doing things, frameworks, libraries, and algorithms. Agentic vibe-coding is ok for small one-off tools/scripts you wouldn’t need to maintain, IMO.

I’m a noob to coding & packages building. I need the crutch for now, honestly, but I assume once you start correcting like Ai, like your having to do, it’s not worth it.
