How much of your coding is done by AI coding agents these days?

... to my AI metasubscription now. AI does what I ask it to do, I just review the changes and commit. It's like having a personal team of 10-20 experts sitting in a chat just ready to do my bidding. It's not sitting but it doesn't feel like that too often yet.

However it's quite staggering to watch am AI so your job an order of magnitude better than yourself. And that for a bunch of software stacks a human couldn't dream to comprehend. It's also sobering to watch the value-add chains I'm supposed to automate

Simple ten-liners in python or bash are almost idiot proof.

But mathy things like transformations between different kinds of coordinate systems in c or c++ are at best equivalent to a college intern who may or may not have gone on a bender the night before. Wrong sense of the transformation (sometimes switching bacl and forth through the calculation), numerical approximations where analytical form was requested, occasionally just plain wrong, frequently has to be corrected.

May work better if trained on our c

I tried using AI a few times, but the code quality was too low for my taste. In the end, it's faster for me to just write the code than to ask an AI to do it and then to fix its bad code.

However, AI is still a blessing. When I have a specific question, like about frameworks that I know only superficially, it's certainly faster to just ask an AI than to search the web. I don't always get a correct answer, but even with the time wasted trying things that are wrong, overall I still save a lot of time. AI basic

For me to even think about trying LLMs, I really need one which:

Is not actively dishonest, so it contains no programming for flattery, confidence, automatic agreement or other pretences not explicitly requested by the user.

Does not use any datacentres forced on communities or which are otherwise doing harm to them, or whose electricity and/or water consumption are secret, or which use resources gained by underhanded means or simple theft.

Is not trained on material without the consent of the people who made

I've used some AI thing to learn how to improve my amateur coding skills. I study other peoples code and this is just another part of that.

The professional coding I leave to the professionals. They think, design, refactor and fix projects. If the AI stuff can save you a little time here and there, all the better. I'd want to use local modals if any though.

Same for my professional vocation in audio. I use AI tools where it makes sense and saves time. I often use it for noise suppression, voice resynthesis, t

Given the health and cost problems caused by AI Datacenters built in residential centers, I personally don't use AI for my own stuff. If I do, I prefer something on a local device. But with how chatbot AI is being force into everything so much now it is getting harder and harder to ignore it. xcode had an AI button that would just post errors not to long ago... prominently displayed so you can't ignore it. It's put into that spot you will accidentally click it.

There are those that say that AI is the ine

All of it, until the tool we were ordered to use runs out of tokens. Yeah, that's accelerating development.
