#AI is moving so fast

Last month I was swept up in ForeFlight's massive layoffs. I wrote about my experiences with AI in software development, what I think this means for the future, and why I have concerns.

Pro #AI #Coding Tip: Describe the bug you're trying to solve, ask AI to add extra debug logs to help it troubleshoot, then tell the AI you will reproduce the issue and share the logs with it to help it solve the bug. My use case: I was trying to work with this intermittent issue that wasn't possible (or easy) to reproduce in an integration test. The AI kept making changes that just weren't correct and weren't solving the problem. Even with high thinking mode. After asking it to add debug logs and reproducing it, it solved it instantly. If AI coding isn't working for you, take a step back and ask yourself: what context is the AI missing to solve this?

Even tho I'm a huge #Apple fan. This is one of the most disappointing #WWDC events I can remember.

AI coding agents (GitHub Copilot Coding Agent, Codex, etc.) seem really bad at formatting code. It's the spaces vs tabs debate, remixed for the AI era.

TIL: You can right click (or press and hold on mobile) the copy button in ChatGPT and "Copy as Markdown". Why don't all AI clients do this?
