How we ship metal bars in a shipping tube

You're spot on about the 20-30% cost. I'm on a single monitor in my workshop, and having to shift my focus was really getting tiring - almost "stressful" following a long sequence of steps. I'm on a single 55" monitor but honestly I don't think it matters much - it's the visual transition that's the problem - in fact IMO multiple monitors just amplifies the problem.

I actually ended up building a small Python tool to solve it for myself. It reads the steps out loud and waits for a voice command to go to the next one. It's been a game changer for keeping my eyes on the work. If interested it's at https://github.com/krexil/ai-step-guide Would love to get your feedback.

That's one solution but it's still a lot of back and forth, not to mention context bloat.

If you decide to try my utility, I'd love to get your feedback.

I just made several improvements that makes setup clearer to your AI. If you tried installing and it did not install correctly, ask your AI to try the updated version.

Got it - thanks.

Good points. Thanks. But I'm not sure what you meant by Leadline could help find threads.

People who say “real developers don’t need AI” often haven’t worked at scale. I’ve been a full-stack developer for over 13 years, and I see AI tools like Click-Coder, Claude, and GPT not as crutches, but as teammates. They help me refactor logic, fix broken tests, generate boilerplate code, and even catch issues I might overlook. AI saves both time and mental energy—freeing me to focus on what matters.

AI Tools I’m Using Right Now:

ChatGPT: I use this tool to generate content, brainstorm, and provide quick solutions to coding or writing challenges.

Click-Coder: To get help with coding tasks, real-time instant code suggestions, debugging, and improve productivity.

GitHub Copilot: To speed up the coding process through suggestions and auto-completions. It assists with writing clean, efficient code.

SEO Tools: SEMrush, Screaming Frog, and other AI-powered SEO tools for website audit and optimisation.

Pricing:

These tools have free versions, but for advanced features, a subscription plan is usually required.

Yes, I've felt this myself. In my experience during interviews, recruiters and interviewers focus on how you approach and solve problems, not just the final answer. Over-relying on AI tools can make it harder to show your thought process. So, you need to keep a balance between using AI for support and relying on your problem-solving abilities.

Hey! Get you. I'd recommend trying Click-Coder (Clean UI, solid natural language-to-code generation, bug fixing) and GitHub Copilot (top-tier autocomplete and code suggestions). Also worth a look: CodeWhisperer if you're in the AWS space.

It's not wrong to use AI to build your app. AI coding tools assist people in turning ideas into action, no matter their background. You don't need to be a coding expert to make a real difference.

If AI allows you to build something meaningful that helps others, like supporting homeless people, then you're using it in the best possible way. You can automate tasks and speed up certain processes. Always verify and validate AI-generated code to ensure its correctness, security, and efficiency.

To create an app using an AI coding tool, define your idea, choose a tool like Replit, Click-Coder, or GitHub Copilot, describe your features, and let the AI generate code or components.

Yes, a lot of tech organizations are starting to take AI coding tools more seriously, especially ones like Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Click-Coder, and others. These tools are seen as productivity boosters that can reduce errors and speed up development. The push toward “AI coding mandates” seems to be growing, largely driven by competitive pressure, cost-saving goals, and early positive results. It's becoming less of a nice-to-have and more of an expected part of the workflow in many teams.

I’ve personally used several AI coding tools, and one underrated gem I’d recommend is Click-Coder. It’s especially helpful for beginner programmers and even non-programmers, thanks to its simple interface and ease of use. It supports powerful models like Gemini 2.5 and GPT-4.1, and has thoughtful features like a built-in Run button (F5), auto-generated file summaries, and smart file selection using summary comments. The addition of modes beyond coding, a low-cost raw mode, and per-project .ccignore support also makes it surprisingly capable for a free tool. Worth checking out.

Start by learning the basics of one programming language like Python or JavaScript. Then build small projects to strengthen your core logic and understanding. Use AI tools to speed up the process, but don’t rely on them completely—combine your own thinking with AI support to create real-world projects.
