I used to be highly skeptical of AI-assisted coding because of all the AI slop and unmaintainable codebases I’m seeing. However, building a full-stack app in five days that would have taken at least a month at a startup I worked at changed my mind. Nothing too fancy, mostly CRUD features. I could’ve shipped a rough version in a day, but I went the extra mile for architecture and code quality. Now I see that AI is not just useful for prototypes; it really depends on the engineer. I already know what good software looks like, and put a lot of effort into learning how to work effectively with coding agents. AI sure is also capable of transforming -1x into -10x. Same goes for writing prose. AI slop may be good enough for some, but there are people who use proper prompts, iterate over the first draft and apply personal touches. Anyways… What was the turning point for you? submitted by /u/CoroteDeMelancia
