I also sometimes ask it how to solve a problem, and it gives me a list of possible solutions that I then pick one and modify according to my own expertise before implementing/using.
I have on occasion bootstrapped test cases that I have then built out according to realistic test scenarios. I use the AI output as a stepping stone to get going rather than something finished.
I find the prompting chatbot type of generative AI somewhat limiting. I would like to have something more integrated in the IDE that is trained on the current code base (I'm sure it exists but we don't have access to it at my organisation). I have tried copilot but I find it more in-the-way than enhancing to my coding experience. I am not actively pursuing/exploring AI tooling. If we resort to only vibe coding, my expectation is a degradation of competence in the long run. If you don't actively train your mind on problem solving and just defer it to the AI, when you get to real problems that AI can't solve but the rest of the code base is vibe coded, I would expect it to be way harder to solve.
Getting someone else's pile of code poured into your lap is always a hassle before you've stepped through it and learned the structure, I take it that vibe coded codebases will be like this everytime since AI is writing the code for you. | No, and I don't plan to | Not at all or minimally | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents. | I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.;The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier.;My company's IT and/or InfoSec teams have strict rules that do not allow me to use AI agent tools or platforms | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | null | When I don’t trust AI’s answers;When I want to fully understand something;When I want to compare different solutions;When I have ethical or security concerns about code;When I’m stuck and can’t explain the problem;When I need help fixing complex or unfamiliar code | Knowing the whole networking-/framework-/tech-stack involved in a fullstack application.
