Upon reflection, I’ve come to believe that quality software is not about how many features something has or how quickly it is built but rather how cared for it is by the designers, developers, and product people who work on it. There’s an ineffable aspect to my favorite pieces of software where I don’t think of it is as feature matrix but rather as an interface made by a human for humans that’s a joy to use. And when you build software with AI, it leads to worse software. Sure, it’s faster to build initially, but I think to the detriment of the quality of the code and the user interface and the user experience.
It seems like most responsible use cases of AI involve users who have a substantial knowledge base with which to sniff test AI’s output, which is at odds with the dream of AI which is to have illiterate morons do all the work for slave wages.
Oh for sure. I’m not saying all the hubbub is worth it just so I can get a custom cheat sheet.
But if it happens to be there, that’s a way I’ve learned “programming things” with it more easily than I could have in the past.
