Morning thoughts ☕️ As many of you I’ve been exploring AI tools like Replit, Cursor AI + other tools to craft apps faster My take so far is that it improves quality and dev speed on the areas you are already strong as a developer, and gives you a starting point on those areas you are weak E.g. I’m stronger in backend dev, data structures, algos and architecture. So my apps are pretty strong in these areas (in a short period of time) I’m weak when it comes to front end, UI/UX. haven’t find a way to move fast in these areas. Maybe I haven’t found the right AI tools for front end / design? Thoughts?

I think you have to have a didactic mindset when working with LLMs in areas you’re not expert. I’ve used them to accelerate skilling up in a lot of areas just by helping me uncover unknown unknowns. Often times in new fields I just don’t know where to start.

They can also put those unknowns into context to help you get a leg up. But from there I’m typically searching out didactic material then doing a little Q&A with an LLM to test my understanding.

Yes definitely. I think I’m learning on those weak areas - makes sense I’m slower there too I’m much more specific in the areas I understand so the tasks are clear
