Tell HN: I regret every single time I use AI

    Like seeing orchestration pipelines, videos, tools or blog posts fills me with literal anxiety, like I feel bad for all these people. They seem like people on drugs to me that think they are on top of the world.

    To be clear I’ve been like this as well and I learned my lesson. I’m also not saying that I’m right. These are just feelings that I experience, I could be the idiot.

    Does anyone else feel the same?

      Today I used AI to help code a feature and it worked pretty well. I am not doing any of this gaslight town stuff, and I went back about 4-5 times with it to make sure we had a mutual understanding -- it's a nice clean patch.

      As of the end of the day there was still a bug left, there probably would have been a bug left if I did it myself. Tomorrow i will fix the bug, maybe with some help, and I am on to another ticket.

      I treat Junie as a coding buddy (think pair programming) and I don't delude myself that 20 slaves are going to create the Great American Javascript while I sleep. AI coding makes my life better.

        I haven’t tried Junie, but I’m using Jetbrains. First time I tried it it didn’t work lol (right at alpha).

        I also see how AI makes my life better and I’m very grateful for everything that I could learn way faster through AI. Languages, systems, patterns etc..

        My main experience is Claude Code and its suggested code changes..
