Massive x100 speed-up for writing simple, mind-numbing stuff.
Algorithm optimization +20%*(Depends on domain).
Obscure APIsx10(deals with APIs much better than docs)
Debugging is massively easier(incomparably).
I don't know waht HN hate for AI is coming from,
but its ideal for prototyping/debugging/refining code.
Minor polishing/editing specifics is much easier for me,
rather than writting a correct "draft v1.0" from scratch:
since i typicall evolve structures from primitive(v0.1)
while AI gives me a chance to start from 1.0 and polish it
later(optimize/fix/improve/etc).
For "from scratch to working prototype" workflow would mean
months of coding condense to days(mostly debugging/flaw finding).Drawbacks:I feel like more code is simplified, no ad-hoc complex
structure after AI rewrite. Pure "clean code" with most
standard optimizations and control flow.
AI can fix "good complex code" into simplified "enterprise ready" control flow charts in code form,
it lacks the sense of 'code quality' instead thinking verbose, clean code is the quality marker.
