Ignoring lemmyhate, are programmers really using AI to be more efficient? (sh.itjust.works)

I've seen a few articles saying that instead of hating AI, the real quiet programmers young and old are loving it and have a renewed sense of purpose coding with llm helpers (this article was also hating on ed zitiron, which makes sense why it would).

Is this total bullshit? I have to admit, even though it makes me ill, I've used llms a few times to help me learn simple code syntax quickly (im and absolute noob who's wanted my whole life to learn code but cant grasp it very well). But yes, a lot of time its wrong.

yup! absolutely this too - i provided a different example in my reply, but honestly this is exactly the thing i use it for most… type a couple of lines, it gets the idea of what you’re trying to copy, and then it’s just hitting accept until it’s done… it’s pretty close to 100% accurate, and even if it’s not… fixing it ain’t exactly hard!
