I was thinking about this when I read a post about what would happen if all of a sudden AI stopped working.
I think we're building a lot of tools with AI that could have been useful without it; it was just hard to justify spending the time building it before in most situations.
definitely. we built a custom eslint parser for scss, html, liquid and yaml and are using it to validate all sorts of rules that were previously just in people's heads. now they are codified and provide instant feedback. if we stopped using AI now, those would still be incredibly useful for human coding.
