For example, I would not be likely to ask it multiple times regarding a COBOL question. OTOH, I am not a C programmer so I was getting something out of asking the questions, even if I had to rephrase them sometimes. > If you've spent 1 hour getting the AI to write the same code that you could > have written in 30 minutes, probably not. > If you've spent 1 hour getting the AI to write BETTER code that you could have > written in 30 minutes, probably. In this case, I would be in the latter category for sure. ;) > And then there's the whole "vibe coding" stuff that results in different code > each time, making code reviews take much longer. I have heard that term but need to read up about it. As I usually hear it in a derogatory reference, I have not been too rushed to learn more about it. ;) * SLMR 2.1a * Reward for a job well done: more work. --- Synchronet CAPCITY2 * Capitol City Online ----------------------------------------------------------- [Voltar]
