If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

I want the extension to read the storage for the API key

I recently used AI to make this Chrome extension. The chrome extension works like this.

Even though the interface looks simple, it was not easy to make all of the features work at once.

Panel approves changes to enhance the flow of the game in men’s basketball - NCAA.org

First you write in human language what you want to do

I want the extension to send a desktop notification when it is complete

I want to minimize the requested permissions where possible

Kraken Deal Andre Burakovsky To Chicago - NHL.com

I binded Cmd+K to initialize generation

I want the extension to be activated when the extension icon is clicked

However, if there is AI that is able to make this Chrome extension for me end-to-end with testing and minimal feedback provided, using AI here would have saved me time. This is not yet the case.

Why are right-wing commentators spreading conspiracy theories about Haitians eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio?

I want the extension to be activated on Cmd+K

I no longer need to browse the Internet to find out the certain Trino keywords, or how to aggregate a pandas DataFrame. It also works on wherever you have Jupyter Notebook. I wrote the Chrome extension, the data is only exposed to OpenAI and probably Google.

Ultimately, you need to decide how much do you need to learn. It is okay to delegate to AI if you don’t intend to learn the things you don’t need to learn.

Why is the show The Big Bang Theory so hated?

When I solved one issue (usually by moving code from one place to another), it usually breaks another issue. I have been stuck in these cycles many times. Moreover, testing Chrome extension is a manual and tedious process that wasn’t automated. I think I spent more time using AI to make this extension than if I had learnt how Chrome extensions are being designed and make informed edits.

You also get a notification on how much it costs.

I want the extension to bring the user to the option page if the API key is missing

Falcons have been spotted at UC Berkeley. Is there hope for Campanile chicks again? - Berkeleyside

I want the extension to read and write content of the current page, specifically the `Jupyter.notebook` object

It calls the OpenAI o1-mini to prefil the cell

Yeah I heavily depended on AI to make this Chrome extension (with Cursor). I had no experience in building a Chrome extension before this. The code is here

When AI takes all jobs how will the lowest class make money to survive?
