They already help me to write marketing copy (a weakness of mine), and have been helpful in solving bugs and researching the correct approaches to design.
I’ve been doing “soup to nuts” apps for a long time, but it can be tedious, so my scope is limited. I’m hoping that AI will help me to expand it.
The bigger the companies/products/teams the less code you actually write.
Right now I have a project where a PM asked me to describe the logic of a certain thing to him and I couldn't do it. Literally I couldn't spell it out better than just reading the code.
I ended up translating the code into pseudo code and send it to him (would have made a flow chart if he wasn't very smart).
And it is not just because of "bad engineering" or bad org, no it was just features added to account for multiple series of edge cases that had to work properly or a few thousands of people would call our company to complain the system wasn't working.
Like the hard part wasn't the code, it was the flow chart. Changes to that flow chart could take weeks to implement/test/release.
