I agree 100%. As I developer, I use AI every day but I always try to understand how it fixes my problems rather than copy/pasting the code. I find it is a great learning opportunity. If you rely on simply asking AI to do the work for you, it means it can very easily replace you....

I've been learning web development for the last 6 months with no technical background. I got to say the AI boom kind of demotivate me, there are many tools that creates functional interfaces in minutes, which is precisely what I want to do. Now I've been using AI as a tutor, always asking it to not give me any code, just explain the concepts and give me the steps to follow and that was a game changer.

Don't lose courage. Many devs with years of experience are doing the same thing. We all need tutors or some pointers. Tech is always changing.

AI is just writing codes which we would copy from other projects anyway. For example, sidebar, menu bar anything. I would've copied and pasted the format and stylings from my older projects anyway. who writes the whole thing again and again? AI is going to make the job easier by cutting the boring code-writings for us. Thats my take, I could be wrong though.

that's what experts are saying and even he is saying and I also believe - ai won't take your job or replace u its the person using ai will surely for eg- 10 juniors are needed rn in a company now later some years u only need 2-4 juniors as they can us AI tools and easily do job faster. that's what the future gonna be in SWE as far as reports , my own analysis which includes 256 videos 10-15 reports and 1-3 articles , experts and general public says. Happy coding everyone (only use ai when u are a intermediate or a senior dev that way u know what ai is writing and can review it or else beginners will just copy paste- which won't get u single job!).

@@i_Have2BrainCells hey even i started my cs journey very recently lol, what are u learning or aiming for? junior devs won't lose there jobs suddenly basically take this as an example- rn 10 devs are req to do various tasks but later in the future u only need 2-3 junior devs because they will be using ai tools to do some front end things rapidly like generating some templates and then working on. so that means the job market will be even tougher and competitive ! yeah so what are u learning again?

I believe we will need SWEs more than ever based on your title. Now, I do think we are headed to a fully autonomous future coupled with AGI and it will make things more efficient. However, there will be downsides. I relate it to how social media was looked as a way for us to connect more and now I think it is doing us more harm than good. The future is now. Either you are a creator or a consumer. A 'user' or a thinker/builder. The people who strive to learn, THINK, and build will be more valuable than ever We are in the hunger games...always have been Good bless to my fellow devs and everyone else. KEEP LEARNING. Dream, work, build, and create!

i agree using ai only for monotonous and mundane tasks, such as the one you mentioned like designing a little tooltip or reformatting JSON/forms. I prefer to carry out tasks with maximum added value myself (architecture/conception/complex state management..)

When ChatGPT 3.5 was released in 2022, there were hardly any AI tools. Now, almost all major tools integrate AI functionality into their applications. What could make things easier for me is switching programming languages and understanding different syntax. Thanks for a great video.

I agree with youon not refraining from looking into AI code output. Currently I use a variety of available AI tools, from ChatGPT, to Amazon Q, DeepSeek Coder, or running Ollama locally. All of them are really helpful for generating RegEx-related code (because I will never learn RegEx) and for generating mock data/JSON. They also helped me on many occasions by explaining details of certain concepts, a micro-tutoring assistant if you will. People are comfortable, lazy, it will be easy to let AI do the work for many, which will result in dumbing us down unless we keep our temptations in check. 🤷

When using AI in Coding and 'Graphics' the practice is the same. Use your creativity and get assistance from AI then fine tune with your personal skills.

cursor + Claude Sonnet 3.5 , my personal assistant. It takes care of the trivial, checks my code for errors and areas to refactor, and talks with me all day long for my 100s of questions.

@TheSpeckledMind Ай бұрын

Greenfield and brownfield development are different use cases - AI does great at greeenfield, and not so great at brownfield. Say you need to refactor a dbt sql model. Sql is simple, AI is good at it! But if the dbt model is 10K lines long, depends on 100 upstream models, takes 8 hours to build and is the source for 300 downstream models, then not only does AI not have the context window necessary to take it all in, the stakes are simply too high to let AI take the reins. When do you think AI will be up to tasks like this?

Yep, this is very well put and one of the bit setbacks with AI in its current state.

I've been writing a lot of codes, I mean prompts, to get several automations done in Apps Scripts. It's a language I don't know. I haven't coded in nearly 29 years 😂. The unfortunate thing is that the freelancer I used to hire is no longer getting my money. Hopefully someone else is hiring him. But I see where this is going.

@WhatIThink45 Ай бұрын

How will AI end coders if coders are not needed to develop prompts and address custom needs of coding results? AI can’t know everything about what we need. That being said, I have failed a few times to check the accuracy of what AI has produced for me, so I’m definitely paying attention to checking AI results before I share out the results.

It does sometimes dumb you down because sometimes I feel I am overusing it but at the same time it helps a lot, I never copy paste something I don't understand and I ask a lot of questions until I understand, I think it's all about balance, in this era it is hard not to use it.

I always hated to read and understand the context of someone else’s code (probably no one likes it). When it comes to ai generated code, it’s someone else’s code again techically. Therefore I never let ai to generate files for me. A few lines (sometimes), autocomplete and certain boilerplate functions are alright in most cases. Code quality is my main priority. As for Cursor AI, I totally agree with you. It’s specifically built for AI generation and it’s way too much for me. I’m still on vscode + copilot. Thanks for you video btw. Beginners shouldn’t rely on AI too much. Otherwise there will be less and less talented programmers around, and more and more layoff complaints.

No. I refuse to let a chatbot just grind out code. I use it to delegate trivial busy work. I also show it my work and ask for improvements and optimization that I did not think of, but sometimes the suggestions just break things. It has, also, seen enough to point out language features and APIs I may not have been aware of.

@maurinavoni6925 Ай бұрын

Not sure if I agree about the mundane tasks either. Let's say, for example, you are maintaining an app that consists of a checklist of steps for many critical procedures at a nuclear power plant. Let's say you wanted to change the steps from strings in a file separated with newlines to json for easier handling. What would happen if the AI misses a step and it causes a chernobyl? Who would be responsible?

@TravisMedia Ай бұрын

@@maurinavoni6925 Yeah I be hesitant to have AI convert anything real time. My example was more a one-off.

@maurinavoni6925 Ай бұрын

@TravisMedia even if it's a one off, what if in that one off it misses a step? The main problem with copilot is that it produces code that looks correct at a glance but has hidden bugs, if something like that happened when manually turning just one document into json that would be enough for catastrophe. I would personally just ask the AI for a code snippet which turns the lines to json lines and run that on the input text. Loved your video btw!

@KeganVanSickle Ай бұрын

Am I the only one that works on code stacks and applications that the AI CANNOT comprehend? I've tried. It can't do it. The stuff I work on is so complicated, so many models talking to each other, that have to interact and make literal calculations, I think it would take me longer to compile a prompt long enough for it to understand the schema and the expected outcome, than just coding it. I find this with the tests it generates too. It's very inconsistent. It's very helpful as a starting point, but also dangerous because I've seen a lot of unoptimized code or flat out doesn't work being generated. I've not tried an AI IDE that can scan your entire code base, which would be thousands of files. 🤷‍♂

Good advice. This Is a little funny since we are all using high level object oriented languages that are abstracted then compiled into something that is REAL and can be run in the browser. Who really thinks amongst the developers about the back end processes about the deeper intricacies of caching database optimization and language optimization? Or do we just write a bunch of code watch it get compiled check to make sure that it works as far as we're concerned and then ship it out there If you want to really be efficient you start writing in the lower level languages but then again who wants to learn then or Java, Kotlin here or Rust?
