  • Same here

    The level of pedantry in this thread is insane lmao. If grammar and spelling make your post indecipherable then sure, it’s annoying. Otherwise you’re being a whiny elitist illustrating your ignorance of the context of the written word. Not to mention some folks in this thread bemoaning people spelling incorrectly or using “wrong” grammar on purpose – ya know, like black people on the internet or the younger generations.




  • I use AI as a rubber duck or to get general ideas all the time. For example, I wanted to make a “hand” of cards splayed out using css, so I asked AI and it gave me a nice starting point I could tweak without having to fuss with figuring the formula to tilt which element at which angle. It’s also quite good at guessing what boring boilerplate code I need to type next.

    Another example: I was trying to figure out an architecture that adhered to OOP/SOLID principles for a specific task, and asked for an example implementation. I was able to test and think through a ton of permutations before landing on what I was taking to prod.

    I think it’s a nice tool for the toolbelt, but it isn’t replacing a programmer anytime soon. You have to know what to ask and be able to intelligently analyze what it spits out to you
