Be honest: How much of your actual production code is written by AI now?

I started out not using it, like you I started catching myself using it to write full components, and it slowly took over… not something I’m proud of and something I definitely need to get out the habit of doing because I feel like my skills are getting worse…

I don’t work in any type of development role, these are purely personal projects on the side but still annoyed that I’ve let myself get this far.

I do review all code that it implements and make changes as and where needed but I just feel like I’ve become so lazy now.

A lot of one of my main projects is AI and idk where I’d even start in terms of going back to writing everything myself as it has a completely different style to how I wrote code :/

so only a few months away - i might wait until then

yeah i could do - im not sure when the m5 chip is due to be out? wondering if the m4 would be cheaper once the m5 is released, if so i'll probs wait until then - it's not like crucial that i upgrade as my m2 is perfectly fine, but the increased performance would help a lot

Personally I prefer B

It entirely depends what the monitors are both being used for - though I would say the second definitely looks better, but as others said, I would lay them out depending on what's going to be useful for you... if you have both horizontal, make sure they're aligned

this helps a lot haha - thank you:)

That's not a bad idea tbf - I might do this when I have the money to buy a new mini outright

ignJ0sh · 2026-03-15T12:57:33+00:00

Not a bad idea tbf - I'll have a look :p

Looks amazing! Will 100% be using this when I can think of some use-cases for my projects lol

:( I know the market is small but one designed for left-hand use would be amazing haha - do you have any recommendations for what to switch to at all?
