You need knowledge in the technology to develop any software.
However, AI has helped:
- In some tasks, given that I have a complete idea on how to implement it, then I might ask the AI to "vibe code" it for me, and I provide it with instructions.
- I might use AI to generate automated tests.
- Ask AI to write some part of the code which I don't remember/know the syntax .
- Ask AI about fixing a bug however, 70% it doesn't work but worth a try, and might give me ideas.
So I would say "vibe coding" is part of my job. | Yes, I use AI agents at work daily | Yes, somewhat | Software engineering | null | AI agents have helped me automate repetitive tasks.;AI agents have reduced the time spent on specific development tasks. | AI agents have improved the quality of my code. | AI agents have accelerated my learning about new technologies or codebases. | AI agents have increased my productivity. | AI agents have helped me solve complex problems more effectively.;AI agents have improved collaboration within my team. | Integrating AI agents with my existing tools and workflows can be difficult.;The cost of using certain AI agent platforms is a barrier. | null | I am concerned about the accuracy of the information provided by AI agents.;I have concerns about the security and privacy of data when using AI agents. | null | It takes significant time and effort to learn how to use AI agents effectively.;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 | ChatGPT;GitHub Copilot;Microsoft Copilot | null | When I don’t trust AI’s answers;When I have ethical or security concerns about code;When I’m stuck and can’t explain the problem | null | 18,562 | 9 |

Mostly that a vast majority of math solving systems (think Wolfram Alpha) require mathematical input, and modern LLMs can put sentences together based off how others discuss it, but an LLM/AI taking a math problem or request that involves math has not yet shown itself (even after 2-3 years of people asking it math problems) to be able to figure out that it's been asked a math problem and instead treats it like a language question. And when it does figure out it's math, it has to reword just the math problem into a math format... but it again treats it like language and the result is even if something like Wolfram can answer "what is the intersection points of these 2 lines", the LLM can't figure out how to graph "when does the GDP of China exceed the GDP of the USA" because it doesn't know how to make those 2 different datasets into a math formula and then has a solver to solve them. And when it fails, it falls back to language which either doesn't work for the problem or is really the regurgitation of some news article that did the math/work for them. And if news article, then it risks inbreeding where news/bloggers use AI to produce said work without checking validity that would come with the original article/content.
And decerning a problem: there are many problems in software that can be solved by walking away and letting the mind wonder/be distracted, then coming to it with fresh attention. And sometimes it's just looking at a wall of text/data going by and going "wait, why does that one word keep popping up", doing follow up searches to see frequency and associations (something many tools do already) and going "no... these other 50 groupings don't matter... but these 2 do" and then being able to take these wildly disjointed, random pieces of data, and going "wait, I have an idea where to look" and putting it together and trying to reproduce the problem. Once reproducible, then it's something AI would certainly be able to tackle. But how we get there is anything but mechanical and systematic, and what works for one problem doesn't work for another. In a different word, sometimes just looking at what goes by in a log or was commented on a ticket by a user, can give us a "hunch" and AI has yet to figure out said "hunch creation and how it leads to problem solving" | 200,000 | 8 |
