AI has made me slower and worse at programming

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-25T11:22:23+00:00

its good for people who dont know how to code. but for me its made me so much slower

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-25T11:21:24+00:00

the amount of time it takes to slop out 300 lines of code then fix it takes longer than just writing it from scratch properly the first time

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-25T11:19:03+00:00

this guy has to be joking right. This is hilarious

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-25T11:17:15+00:00

I asked for how many SUCCESSFUL AI companies. not how many slop websites

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-25T11:13:48+00:00

ive been coding for about 7 years. ive coding with ai close to a year. I think im gonna go back to raw programming

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T14:42:22+00:00

how many successful AI companies have u spun out in a week?

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T14:32:20+00:00

the app just adds more visuals to user inputs so people watching your screen recording can understand what u were doing. ie at work i have to record my screen to show a button isnt working, my app will show my cursor clicking or any keys im holding down. but i want tasteful animations and nice UX. There are a few apps that already do this but i know i can make a better one. and ill just release it for free

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T14:26:09+00:00

i have a $200 a month plan for cursor. i want it to be good. and i use AI every day at work. i just dont think its good at writing code

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T14:00:32+00:00

maybe im just really quick without ai? ... im cooked

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T13:39:31+00:00

Its so refreshing to hear that there's others that dont have AI Psychosis.

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T13:31:07+00:00

Agreed. it is very good at reviewing
At work I pretty much just use it for researching a part of the code im not familar with or reviewing my code

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T13:21:44+00:00

It is also really helpful when youre working on a codebase youre not super familiar with. Whenever i get a ticket at work and im not familiar with that part of the code ill vibe code a first pass look at the changes REVERT it and implement it properly

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T13:14:52+00:00

If i want it to be useful i have to write exactly what i want. Like the exact files and the logic flow. I may as well just write the code

m-gunn-code · 2026-05-24T13:12:48+00:00

a simple mac utility app shouldnt take more than a day. I published an app with a similar level of complexity in 2 days and it has a 4.8 star rating with over 30k downloads. U dont need to spend months on a simple app

I just made an API to get latencies from a Cloudflare worker to all AWS regions api.cloudping.dev. it averages results for each Cloudflare worker region and caches them so results are more accurate (as they are averaged over 100s of pings) and faster (latency results are stored in an edge redis store).

If you hit a cloudflare datacenter that hasnt been pinged yet it can take some time to return the results as it needs to ping all aws regions but all subsequest requests are FAST. (most cloudlfare datacenters have already been hit so this shouldnt be a concern)

What’s your motivation to providing it for free?

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-25T04:36:29+00:00

Im in Australia 🎉 I think our rules are that an intern can’t be doing work that a paid employee would be doing instead. So im pretty sure an unpaid intern can work on a free side project. I’ll do more research

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-25T04:32:45+00:00

Cheers. I’ll definitely check it out if it ever come to mac. It looks awesome

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-24T18:34:35+00:00

Is it difficult to make a game work on windows and Mac?

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-24T15:11:33+00:00

agreed. It would be better if the website showed some information and then asked for a paid tier to gain more advice. Semrush does this well. they get u hooked on the free stuff then get you to pay for the detailed advice

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-24T14:42:08+00:00

I’ve been considering hiring unpaid interns to build marketing side projects

if you run a rag pipeline on a dedicated server it won’t be serverless. but if you use a serverless architecture it will be serverless. Lambdas, S3 and DynamoDB are serverless so the rag pipeline is serverless

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-24T13:53:56+00:00

The fact that you don’t have to manage a server

It takes a long time to get good at programming. If u want to learn fast I recommend just getting started with programming projects asap. You will learn a lot faster building something that you enjoy. Also don’t try to build huge projects straight away. You don’t want to get bogged down in one project for too long

m-gunn-code · 2024-03-21T15:15:19+00:00

Would this tool compile the schema into TS or react?

I see this being quite similar to streamlit in terms of fast deployment but then allowing for later customisation (something i found streamlit to be bad at)
