It’s the same way for me. I don’t know if my work is this trivial or I’m just “good enough” at it, but it takes me much longer to prompt the chat to get what I want than it takes me to just write it myself.
I honestly kinda feel like I’m using this ai stuff wrong, but outside of generating some basic unit tests and a little better auto complete it feels kinda useless in my day to day work.
I see it as a win, I love refactoring bad code . Just feels so nice afterwards.
Especially when you can remove thousands of lines of duplicated ui code.
That’s so much better than writing new code
Ah that would be helpful. Gotta try that the next time I encounter such a monstrosity.
Totally agree with you. I’m always an advocate for boring and easy to understand code.
I really don’t need an extra layer of complexity just so someone can save a line or two.
I often have the pleasure of refactoring this mess. And sometimes it’s not just 2 ternaries but like 4 or 5 thrown together. It took like half an hour to even understand what was going on. If you do this, you are just an evil person…
So I totally support this. Stop this shit…
But who decides that? If the person who requested it can do this, you only need a friend to abuse the system and give each other a few extra points.
Maybe a open point history could help with this and users moderate themselves with this.
Yeah that’s definitely a possibility. It’s really a tricky topic to build a review community. One could try other approaches like dedicated volunteer reviewers. But if you look at exorcism, that will become hard to manage for languages with huge demand.
A system where everyone also needs to review is definitely better. Especially since everyone also learns reading other peoples code.
True, it’s not a fleshed out idea haha. But starting with a few points would work.
Could actually be a cool in it self, wish I had time for something like that.

Would love something like this, but it’s very hard to get such a community working. Most of the time there will be way more people wanting a review of their code than people wanting to put in the work and review something.
Maybe some kind of point system could work. Like one needs to review at least two times before you can get your work reviewed.
Well I hope it’s ai bros haha.
I kinda feel sad about this whole ai tooling. For me programming was always more like art. But this gets lost now with all the ai stuff.
I sound like an old man yelling at clouds.
