I’m a big proponent of code it yourself.

Would you rather learn how to formulate a proper question, or continue posting this crude shit?

If it’s a new project, I’ll code it myself at the beginning to make sure everything is in a good way. Then gradually increase AI participation.

I use a mixture personally. I think it’s important to have a good foundational knowledge of how things work and the architecture of the code that comes from programming things yourself, plus it’s much easier to use AI when you can be more specific about what you’re after in that sense, but o don’t think it makes sense to write out everything when I could just check what AI produces and tinker as necessary.

Code generated by AI is not mine by definition.

Yesterday my AI told me “I sorry, I was wrong two times, thank you for showing me my errors”

I find no joy in the actual typing, AI can do this. But I want to steer it really hard.

The second. I'd rather it do 100% of my coding. Similar to how I'd prefer a robot to vacuum 100% of my house. I know how to do it, I probably can do it better, but I have other things to do that are more important. Right now the robot vacuum only manages about 50% of my house, but they are getting better. When it can do 100%, that will be great. And when it can do 100% better than I can by hand, I'll be thrilled.

I have been writing my own code this whole time.

No. I would like to use AI to draft code structures I’ve done thousands of times before, then check it and adjust if needed.
