I'm fine with treating AI like a human developer:

I ask AI to write a feature (or fix a bug, or do a refactoring) and then I read the commit. If the commit is not to my liking, I "git reset --hard", improve my prompt and ask the AI to do the task again.

I call this "prompt coding":

This way, there is no interaction between my coding environment and the AI at all. Just like working with a human developer does not involve them doing anything in my editor.

Very big doubt. AI can help for a few very specific tasks, but the hallucinations still happen, and making things up (especially APIs) is unacceptable.

Hard disagree. LLMs are now incredibly good for any coding task (with popular languages).

You can't disagree with facts. Every time I try to give a chance to all those LLMs, they always use old APIs, APIs that don't exist, or mix things up. I'll still try that once a month to see how it evolves, but I have never been amazed by the capabilities of those things.

> with popular languages

Don't know, don't care. I write C++ code and that's all I need. JS and React can die a painful death for all I care as they have injected the worst practices across all the CS field. As for Python, I don't need help with that thanks to uv, but that's another story.

Anecdotes are not facts, they are personal experiences, which we know are not equal and often come with biases
