@phire I know of basically no devs who uses AI coding assistants, at least not on purpose and in a sustained manner. Once in a while I’ll read a True Believer™ claim amazingness on the company messaging tool, but really, everyone is collectively shrugging their shoulder and going back to the usual coding tools.

@drahardja @phire I know of no devs whose work I trust or respect who use these tools.

@drahardja a couple times I’ve tab completed my way through the boiler plate of a unit test, but that’s about it.

@waffles I love it when I type “enum” and my IDE offers up a block of constants from some random project. Sure, buddy, that’s exactly what I want.

@drahardja oh man, ok i wasn't even considering copilot trained on random public repos. i've only ever used the internal version that my work uses, that's trained on our mono repo -- which basically accomplishes what i would've done otherwise: copied my deskmates work :P

But joking aside, i don't personally find those tools helpful. I'm happy for others who do, but it's just not my thing.
