AI can get the implementation done just fine but in my experience it needs guidance because it can't guess what features and details I want / don't want.
The difference to "before" is that it's now possible at all for me to get personal projects to a working state but in sum they still require a few hours every now and then supervising.
My personal projects matter a lot. For some of them I am trusting my private data in the code, so I need to hold it to a high security and privacy standard. For others, I have hundreds or thousands of users (game mods, helper tools for hobbies, etc.), and I don't want to ship low quality to them.
Because I offer no warranty and work on it on my personal time. What use is code nobody uses?
> Also why would your private data leak just because you used AI to reduce time to code?
Because if I don't exercise rigor and review oops you let the security holes in (I had to do like 4-7 separate pentest passes on AI generated code to catch and close the vulnerabilities)
If it doesn’t matter then do what you want. By definition, it doesn’t matter.
Some of us actually use these tools, so it does matter. You do have to consider things when it matters.
The second sentence I agree, of course you need to consider things when it matters. Thats the basic definition of importance.
