AI assistance gives mixed feelings about coding. When learning a new topic, it often feels more terrible than a helping hand.
Writing new code with my own ideas gives me more room to think and activates my brain to work on my existing knowledge. When I use AI assistance, it provides code faster than my thinking process. Is that good? Obviously not. But there’s something to consider: AI-provided code is neither the most standard nor the weakest. For a newbie programmer, it helps them learn new techniques and how to implement them. Isn’t that good? Yet, they can’t fully utilize their efficiency based on their own knowledge.
As a beginner programmer, if you use AI assistance, you can’t fully use your own ideas. Though you might learn about different techniques, where is the real benefit if you don’t practice it?
For a pro programmer, why use it if there’s no pressing deadline or if laziness isn’t a factor?
So, it’s better not to rely on AI assistance for coding and instead code with your own hands until there comes a new variant of assistance that can truly understand developers' needs.
