Iâve spent several days experimenting with an advanced programming AI, paying $20/month for trial use and anticipating a jump to $100/month once I start building real projects. The AI can generate entire applications without any handâwritten code, but it still makes mistakes that require detectiveâstyle debuggingâsomething the author describes as âgameâ work rather than architecture. By giving explicit instructions (e.g., follow Mozilla conventions, avoid frameworks) the AI produces cleaner code, yet bugs in UI grid slicing or border coordinates can slip through and need manual correction. The writer argues that AI multiplies a developerâs productivity, turning anyone from observer to creator; it allows rapid prototyping with tools like electronâfiddle for desktop apps or GitHub Pages for web projects. In essence, the post highlights how learning to âtalkâ to an AIârequesting lightweight versions and guiding its outputâcan unlock complex code that once required corporate resources, heralding a new age of thinking machines.
