The problem I face is that it’s hard for AI to earn my trust as a tool because it delivers 50-90% correct code depending on prompt, model and context.
My latest experience
I am vibing a minor program and get like half way, when I then resume work a month later I end up burning $10 to implement one use case+tests because I don’t break up the task enough.
This makes me think I probably got rusty using AI in that month, and possibly Google fiddled with Geminis performance parameters to make more money.
Experiences like that doesn’t improve my confidence in AI.
I don’t doubt they are constantly trying to squeeze money out of us, especially with the shady deals between Nvidia, openai and the other group.
I am in the stage of discovering what the LLM can be used for, and it’s currently a fairly small list of tasks I trust it to do.
I’m far from an LLM nut, especially when it delivers mediocre code at best, but sometimes slop is an acceptable solution. And often it ends up taking more time, but that happens anyway.
And it only cost an entire community their water, raised everyone’s electrical bills, and required endless investor cash that can never run out or else the bubble pops.

You don’t get “rusty”, the system is rigged to capture your money.
You didn’t save any time and you spent more than you would have.
Stop being a sucker, and fire Claude.

Coding is free if you use your brain.
