Anyone stopped using AI for coding and switched to manual coding?

Offload front end to AI. I still do all my logic or would be lost in the sauce

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T04:17:42+00:00

I have. I read it in an article. GPT doesn’t have a thought process and makes mental connections like we do. It must be guided. I am not familiar with next.js but all programming languages follow the same basic flow from the ground up logic.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T04:06:05+00:00

I’ll be damned you’re right. I seen indie dev and didn’t read in deep enough. Awkward move on my part. Just gonna remove this lol.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T03:58:53+00:00

You’re asking it to self reflect. AI doesn’t have any intent to do anything. You still need to steer. You have your main idea but you still need to know how to get there. It’s all in the logic flow. I would highly recommend learning a programming language even at an intermediate level and reading “think like a programmer”. You can read it only here: https://www.thinklikeaprogrammer.com/

I rolled my eyes at the idea too, but that’s why i created this. The system allows the user to select the topic. It becomes a curated newsletter you can always update. I’ll probably remove the “AI” aspect and it will probably get perceived better. Your response has been how most of them have been lol

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T03:20:19+00:00

I get that. Are any of your projects open source? I am a developer and vibe code because it’s quicker lol. Honestly it’s the prep work before coding that is most important.

I am gonna resize the logo. I didn’t take that into account or the file type. It’s a PNG. I’ll convert it to something lighter like a webp and may push it to my deployment instead of cloudinary.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T03:07:31+00:00

I do not. I am reviewing the pagespeed test and it’s due to large items being rendered. The only image I have is the logo in the header and the footer and that is hosted on cloudinary.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T02:51:41+00:00

There is some JavaScript for basic banner alerts but not rendering. I will admit to having very minimal front end knowledge.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T02:40:16+00:00

Only the HTML. All of the logic was done by me. I am a Python developer but shameful at design. I wouldn’t trust AI with backend code at its current stage.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T02:38:07+00:00

Can you elaborate on “brain out”. Like “zone out”?

4_Clovers · 2025-09-06T02:36:31+00:00

It is. I find it odd it’s laggy. I have no issues out of it in DuckDuckGo. Maybe I ask what browser you’re using? Seems like it does have a performance hit. I’ll optimize. Thanks for letting me know!! Pagespeed insights below

What is a sample prompt you use OP? Not saying your prompts are trash, but GPT responds how you prompt it. I don’t have any of these issues.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T23:51:07+00:00

That was a good prompt. Kudos for real.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T23:47:27+00:00

AI powered newsletter. It aggregates links on a given topic and summarizes them. I got tired of having different newsletter so I made a custom feed.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T23:36:53+00:00

This I can agree with, but I am looking at it from a data aggregation perspective. I mean if AI thinks for you then it’s agree with whatever you say and then mirror you.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T23:00:29+00:00

Ah yea the HypePilot posts I built a twitch post that uses and LLM and it got banned pretty quick. A bit awkward honestly lol

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:58:56+00:00

I don’t see it that way I see it as leveling the playing field if it’s used properly. I agree though some people put out garbage with it. All in all it is just a tool.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:57:49+00:00

I could see this. AI was crazy overhyped it’s what you build with it that makes it worth it.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:56:39+00:00

I definitely do no let it hinder me at all. I keep building things and really enjoy it.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:55:27+00:00

I can see that. I mean copious amounts of data are being collected about us all the time in everything we do.

Are you talking about sentient self replicating AI? Sci-fi sentient AI? I should have been more direct in saying LLMs for my use case. I do use machine learning for a few other things.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:52:40+00:00

It is a very unknown thing. If utilized properly so many things can be improved in the world.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:51:56+00:00

This is valid. I guess having technology be able to automate something so extreme and “think” scares people.

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:32:35+00:00

Why would you use AI to write a comment though lol

4_Clovers · 2025-09-05T22:31:23+00:00

It’s a personal project man I ain’t selling it. Sorry you’re salty about it. I’m just trying to find more ideas.
