I have a very big hobby code project I’ve been working on for years.
AI has not made me much more productive at work.
I can only work on my hobby project when I’m tired after the kids go to bed. AI has made me 3x productive there because reviewing code is easier than architecting. I can sense if it’s bad, I have good tests, the requests are pretty manageable (make a new crud page for this DTO using app conventions).
But at work where I’m fresh and tackling hard problems that are 50% business political will? If anything it slows me down.
