I have mostly experience with a large app that I have been building lately. I use VSC with Claude. I have some background in coding but I do not do it for a living. As a tool, AI works best when there is a plan to follow and a master document for it to update to record progress. Starting from a proof of concept first and then expanding from there provides clarity. Sometimes I have used another AI to create a refined method to be implemented by another AI.
What I do not like about AI coding: the intellectual and memory challenges fade away. There is no more brainwork that I have liked about coding. Copy-pasting and especially auto-coding become boring quite fast, and I have no deep knowledge of the code. I do not have problems with it to think about: solutions to feel accomplished for. Those only come when I catch an AI doing something stupid.
I could not have written the app to this extent this fast without the help of AIs, but while I am happy about the app I feel unfulfilled.
There is a danger that while pushing AI into everything hoping for continuous growth, the actual growth as a human being is reversed, unless we are vigilant.
