I think the way I would want to work with AI for web apps would be like this: You install a fancy chrome extension or custom browser. You go through the app on this browser. You notice something you want to change. You can then submit a prompt via this extension saying the change you want. The trick is, the chrome extension has been following your movements through the app. This way the chrome extension can generate…
It always seemed to require extra effort to "program myself", maybe because it requires questioning whether I'm doing it the right way and what would be some alternative ways of doing it. It's almost like "out-of-box thinking".
Whereas basic coding is often as easy as writing this note here, just write what comes to my mind. Coding tasks are often trivial, but they must be done. But they don't really burden our mind too much, not too often.
But with AI, it's all about "programming the programmer".
And that requires more thinking, asking more questions like is this really what we need to accomplish, or would some alternative way be better? What alternative way?
Asking questions like that was always part of the work but with AI it seems to be the only type of work. And it is more difficult, more exhausting, than basic coding.
i have Reviewer bot, Developer bot and DevOps bot that listen to any @mention and each of them is just wrapper around pi harness with capability to read/write through Gitlab issues, MR and comments.
So i can choose whenever i want to vibe code the whole feature or when i want to co-develop or review the code line by line through Gitlab issues or MR.
It feels more natural to me to navigate through my past 'prompt' just like another Gitlab comment.
Also it creates a uniform level of granularity. The great thing about AI coding is that you can go deep and detailed in hard sections and just plain ignore the simple stuff.
" I also don’t want to go back to writing all my code manually " - a whole generation of you guys are going to regret this decision very seriously 5 years down the line - mark my words - just like how studies are being published currently on how meta algorithms are designed to have you hooked and causes brainfart, 5 yrs down the line , studies ll come out showing how LLMs have caused degradation in critical thinking…
