Ok tell me when to stop being cynical so I can be optimally not cynical

I’m a web dev what can I do

Brb adding a marquee to my website

Well not quite - I use ChatGPT more like to brainstorm ideas and sometimes I’ll paste a whole file or two into the prompt and ask what’s wrong and tell it the issue I’m seeing, it usually gives me the correct answer right away or after clarifying once or twice.

I use copilot for tab completion. Sometimes it finishes a line or two sometimes more. Usually it’s good code if it’s able to read your existing codebase as a reference. bonus points for using an MCP.

Warp terminal for intensive workflows. It’s integrated into your machine and can do whatever like implementing CICD scripts, executing commands, ssh into remote servers set up your infrastructure etc… I’ll use this when I really need the ai to understand my code base as a whole before providing any code or executing commands.

I’m a senior software engineer and I’ve wanted to do the same for everrrrr. It’s not easy. This is why project owner and engineer are two different titles. I’ve made a ton of progress on an app I’m building over the past half a year or so but at times I feel like I’m completely out of my depth. ChatGPT and other ai tools have helped me bridge a knowledge gap but nowhere enough to call myself an “expert” on running my own business/startup. Anyway if you’re interested shoot me a DM maybe we can help each other out somehow .

So much this. People who say ai can’t write code are just using it wrong. You need to break things down to bite size problems and just let it autocomplete a few lines at a time. Increase your productivity like 200%. And don’t get me started about not having to search through a bunch of garbage google results to find the documentation I’m actually looking for.

I will tell you nothing!

I’m mean… it’s not even how ad block works
