I hate reading ai outputs man
@dwtexe 5mo

I became a constant debug machine

  and also > I keep getting pressured into using AI, it is exhausting I was thinking I'm the only one who feels exactly that. From writing code I am now forced to read a lot of code I didn't built a proper mental model for, and it's really exhausting and not really fun.

  seeing the same stupid miskates over and over again is killing me still building something quick is nice but it doesnt feels the same there is nothing to gain or earn
  
  @Aqualon 5mo
  
  that's so true, I have no idea as to why but it tries to invent something that already has solution in component library, and almost every time I have to specifically point to that. I'm not sure why, because our AI docs have this one covered, it feels really meh

  also it tends to do some stuff in very inefficent ways its simple when you read the code but hella inefficent to do the thing

I keep getting pressured into using AI, it is exhausting 😞

  By your empl*yer?
  
  @azizhakberdiev 5mo
  
  there's vibe coding in the job descriptions
  
  @nwordtech 5mo
  
  Yeah I know

  dio cane…

  Sort of, by my team leader and my teammates. I'd like to use it as a last resort instead of the first approach when dealing with an issue, otherwise it will inevitably lead to a net loss of skill when developing new features 😑
  
  @sysoevyarik 5mo
  
  But at the same time it's useless as "last resort"
  
  @Bjastkuliar 5mo
  
  I must admit that the times I used it as a last resort It has worked, but it was a very specific use case: when debugging a piece of code it helped me finding out the source of a specific exception within a specific class. I normally resolve to documentation or online communities for solutions, but when an issue is a specific variant of a common one it does help: for context, I program Java and sometimes it is impossible to find answers that DO NOT involve the spring software suite. What usually gets me when programming is configuration issues 🙈

  Only way I see it being used for good is if you have no ideas or experience in a particular area and want it to teach you what to do. If AI was any good at teaching, this would be a good step
  
  @Daonifur 5mo
  
  For example, let's say you're writing a software/game that you need to import/export specific file formats using just your current environment. This would help because all internet is going to do is make you jump through hoops and basically say you need another environment everytime
