A place for developers to talk about building on Farcaster.

Been talking with a lot of engineers recently about using AI editors.

A trend is emerging: if you are proficient with the LSP and know shortcuts to navigate and have a good typing speed, using AI is a net negative.

The micro-interruptions, the http latency, and the inaccuracy is just worse.

So truly AI for coding seems to be a floor raiser, without touching the ceiling much

I can see how AI can be less useful for people who tend to work using the same language, same libs, same frameworks, same stack, etc. for a long period of time so they have the muscle memory to do the same things over and over with slight variations.

For folks that are frequently shifting between different languages, stacks, etc. AI helps a lot.

Either way AI it's definitely just raises the floor, the ceiling isn't set by coding skills anyway.
