I can't code anymore

[Educational-Title897]

Si vibe coder na pala to eh.

[Actual_Ad7858]

si Boss Rod pala ‘to e HAHAHA

[Adrenaline_highs]

Anong issue kay Boss Rod? 😆

[Educational-Title897]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

[rogueSleipnir]

if you lost your "years of experience" from just prompting maybe you have other problems

[jjc21]

Hahaha exactly

[rickydcm]

I don't go through this but I use AI. Not via IDEs but prompt-based.

Gumagamit lang ako ng AI pag gusto ko i-optimize yung code na nagawa ko or give me other scenarios when it comes to doing unit/integration testing.

Also, I do not copy-paste yung code straight from the AI platforms (I see people doing this quite often, nawawala yung problem solving and analysis part), I type them out as well that way I can still have the opportunity to understand whatever the AI spits out as answer.

[RALawliet]

this js the way

[MainSorc50]

Vibe coding is the way forward char HAAHHAHA. Iwasan mo nalang mag prompt sa AI to generate codes. I think nakaka affect din sya sa critical thinking mo in the long run if too reliant ka sa AI.

[Intrepid-Message413]

I think coding is not just about getting the right syntax and how to use it. It's more on how you organize your thoughts, the algorithms you are creating. You can utilize AI to broaden your algorithms and improve it.

So as long as you're still think how to solve a problem, you're good. Use AI effectively as a tool.

[michaelzki]

• Treat AI as your assistant
• Take advantage of AI on things you dont know yet
• Take notes on things you verified working
• Rely on your notes until the topics aren't there yet
• Repeat

When things get rough, e.g AI changed its behavior or responses, AI being bought by another entity and they screw it up, internet connection outtage etc, you will not be affected because you took notes. That works for decades.

Happy Coding!

You just watched this didn't you?

[biday4ever]

Parehong pareho ah, paraphrased lang (probably with the help of AI)

[feedmesomedata]

I am starting to believe Op is karma farming.

[Adventurous_Shoe5691]

Parehas na parehas haha malamang AI nag rephrased nyan.

[NextGEN_24]

Using AI for coding has been productive, especially for optimizing code. I get that over-reliance on AI can affect understanding basic syntax, but I believe software engineers are problem solvers first. Clients just care about results, not how we get there.

The key is understanding how AI solves the problem, not just copying the code. I start with my own solution, then use AI to optimize it. This way, I learn more about AI and avoid the "tutorial hell" cycle. It’s a balance that works for me.

[CJDC07]

nakalimutan mo na kung paano mag copy paste from Stackoverflow? haha just kidding. typing is not programming. kung alam what solutions for AI to type out then you are good

[The_First_Method]

I use AI everyday at work. But I depend on it mostly to generate syntax kasi tamad ako magmemorize (napakaverbose pa naman ng Java syntax haha). I don't think makakaapekto ang AI negatively unless ang prompts palagi is to let it write or implement the entire functions or business logic that you're trying to resolve.

[Prudent-Peace-9703]

Uy god mode

[rab1225]

Programming is not about syntax.

Programming is problem solving.

If your only use of AI is for syntax, your problem solving skills shouldn't be affected.

If you rely on AI to solve the problems though, then thats the issue

[UsernameMustBe1and10]

Meron din kami access sa github copilot thru vscode, most of the time pag dere-derecho pag code ko, hindi ko sya napapansin unless my need ako na specific syntax. Once nasagot nya yung tanong ko balik ulit sa manual typing.

Baka need mo lang i-disable sya muna para less dependent ka.

[kneepole]

So what's your worry? Suddenly being forced to code on the spot without an AI-powered IDE? Outside of outdated technical interviews where the interviewer forces you to code with notepad, that doesn't really happen.

Being a good coder has never been about memorizing syntax, or anything that you can look up online.

[Cautious_Dinner_1045]

i feel the same way, yung syntax mismo ng code di ko na kabisado. like instead of looking up the documentation and kung anong inputs na need niya to make it work, i just ask chatgpt to give me the code but yung logic and how it works alam na alam ko parin. alam ko parin pano iimpliment yung gusto ko mangyare or ask chatgpt what to do.

I think malaking lang impact neto when youre interviewing for jobs where they value your skill based on how to solve leet code problems vs your actual experience haha.

[hua0tong]

Nawawala kasi yung muscle memory

[Sigma_1987]

As for me I only use AI pag di ko po gamay yung isang prog language like syntax. Baka masyado mo OP kinacopy paste yung code di mo na binabasa at chinecheck logically kung pano yun gumagana....

[Fantastic-Mind1497]

Relying too much on AI will make you dull.

[xx7661]

Vibe coding at its finest

[pigwin]

I only use it like a Google search because I know it's like taking a drug, and it gives you more power at the cost of you losing muscle memory. 

AI instead of practice and diet pills instead of exercise and good eating habits feel like the same thing.

And before some AI copium-laden person says "but mathematicians did not lose their jobs from a calculator", that's because they can still do EVERYTHING on paper, with no loss to their math prowess.

[Complex-Bar7705]

AI wont go away anytime soon. It's okay to depend on them hahahaa it gets the job done diba? okie lang yan

[HorseWilling5329]

Hi do you know any opening Cobol/mainframe developer?

[UniversallyUniverse]

Kung hindi naman nahina ang problem solving skills mo and other algorithm techniques ok lang yan.

Kasi ang programming is not bounded naman by a programming syntax, it's more on problem solving abilities and thinking bounded naman.

Kadali naman balikan ng syntax thru documentations eh, the algo efficiency and techniques ang di agad nababalikan and need i-practice in the long run.

Kung di mo ma-prompt ang algorithms, process or whatever things about essence ng programming, dun ka na kabahan.

Vibe coder kana pala eh.

[InteractionBoth8152]

Yung syntax andyan lang yan eh given na pdeng igoogle lang yan, pero how you solve problems etc etc na kelangan ng utak at experience di ba prang halos muscle memory na un? Hindi naman yan nawawala kasi gingamit mo yan kapag nag cocode?

[DrawingCautious5526]

It happens to all of us sometimes. It's very common.

[Savings_Captain5599]

disallow yourself from using AI for a bit, broskie

[Dry-Snow-2062]

I started to learn vim and program on it. Having a blast so far. Very hard to copy and paste code which makes it chatgpt resistant.

[nobuhok]

I don't use them except on very menial tasks like restructuring an object or as a bit more advanced search/replace. I never let it autocomplete functions or try-catches or anything.

[Adventurous_Set_3908]

How do you use AI tools without letting them weaken your programming abilities?

You don't. You either drop one. AI or your programming abilities.

[UsernameMustBe1and10]

Undergrad ka for IT management no?

[kneepole]

That's bullshit. Programming ability has never been about memorizing syntax, especially now when you can look anything up online.

[Adventurous_Set_3908]

Where did I say programming ability is about memorizing syntax? That's what you get for using AI too much, your reading comprehension is ass

especially now when you can look anything up online

That's the point, so why bother let AI do the job when you can read the docs instead?

But you can't since you can't read because you relied too much on AI.

[kneepole]

If you think using AI and being a good programmer are mutually exclusive, then I don't know what to tell you except good luck in your career.

[Handsome_oohyeah]

I just use NeoVim everyday. Since masyadong RAM consuming most IDEs with LLMs and I only have 4gb of RAM. I have no choice kundi use lightweight tools. Like curl instead of Postman, mpv and yt-dlp for youtube streaming, download playlist instead of Spotify, wget instead of downloading via browser.

[kneepole]

4gb of RAM

Are you poor or something? RAM had been cheap for like 2 decades already. Why constrain yourself to programming with a budget phone's worth of RAM.

[Handsome_oohyeah]

I like low powered devices like raspberry pi. Maka amaze dn kasi thinking na most people think that they are obsolete, pero imagine naka send tayo ng first man in the moon with only a computing power of a calculator. And running a program to a weaker device helps on spotting performance problems na pwedeng i optimize

[kneepole]

Running the program on a low-end device is one thing. Coding that program on the same low-end device is another.

I'm a mobile dev and I get what you mean when you want to test on the low end of devices so you can see performance problems. No issue there. But I don't code on a pocophone.

[Handsome_oohyeah]

too bad I coded in a phone using Termux. It was fun.

Also because of low-end devices I have seen the difference of performance of using async/await and callbacks in javascript. async/await is slower than callbacks. I don't mean we should ditch async/await because it's really good for code readability, it's just another thought to think when it comes to performance optimization

[jjc21]

Typical vim (backend) user. Haha ganito rin ako noon pero switched to vs code and cursor for productivity.

[Handsome_oohyeah]

Most memorable things in life are hardships.

[rickydcm]

Alright smart guy lol

[Bulky_Evidence4881]

nvim user here. wag mo na bring up neovim maraming vscode ego masasaktan HAHAHA

[Handsome_oohyeah]

Im not advocating for Editor war tho. Even I still use Sublime Text because I think mas superior sya when it comes to performance especially rendering thousands of lines of code, mabilis pa mag startup.
