I tried using AI to code but feel that I’m using it wrong. I fear that I’m using a new tool with old methods. Even with AI, I am connecting between individual components, analyzing and building for errors, building tests to check, thinking through the if else before getting AI to code it. I keep testing and retesting the integration between the systems. Reading through a lot of papers on methods and mathematics before deciding on the path forward. A complex function can take a week or two before we finally merge into default and even then, we do SO MUCH testing all over again. But it seems like it’s all wrong in the age of AI. I watch vibe coders on YouTube, and they are literally building based on “Build me a million dollar app and make no mistake”. They write a few prompts and they get a fully functioning app in less than 20 minutes. It’s a very high level type of building compared to my coding style. I’m still stuck in the deep details even in the age of AI. Can some SWE share their experience in using AI? submitted by /u/Impressive-Flow2023
