This is why my personal use of AI has been focused pretty cleanly on “doing what I already do, more thoroughly” - By not turning it into a “ship more code more faster” machine, it’s a “can explore my code and answer questions and help design things more thoroughly” machine.
I tend to go with “AI-augmented” development because I’m shipping the same things I’ve been shipping - Just with a way to quickly brainstorm and compare ideas on something my team members may not have time for. I can propose my ideas and have some LLM tell me what the downsides of my approach would be - or what I should guard against.
It’s crazy to me that folks are treating them like sources of truth when they should just be an untrustworthy second opinion that is faster than you. I think of it as an intern with speed but questionable taste lol.



I have smart home things but they’re all locally driven by HomeAssistant.
I want the convenience of the automations without ever having to worry that some corporation can or will take the functionality from me.
