The Coding Sloth

Programming with AI tools can make development more enjoyable by automating boring tasks like learning new codebases, writing PR summaries, and handling code reviews. The author demonstrates using AI to contribute to VS Code's open source project, showing how AI can help understand large codebases, generate code, and streamline workflows. While AI tools like code completion and automated agents can speed up development and reduce tedious work, they're not perfect and require careful use to avoid over-reliance and potential errors.

AI Makes Programming Fun

<p>This is how AI is supposed to be used. Automating the boring and repeating tasks not for “vibe” coding your entire codebase.</p>


<p>Besides code generation, I also find AI extremely helpful in refining requirements and planning with respect to current state of the codebase. Spending more time in this phase makes coding not only fun but efficient too, regardless if it’s an AI or the actual dev writing it.</p>
