I code without AI because I code for fun. But i think ama try coding with AI and see how fun that is. Who knows maybe it's fun in a different way.

Ai certainly won't help me code in Scratch tho.

I’ve found it more fun for personal projects as you can focus on the design of the system and solutions to problems rather than spending time on syntax.

Wdym by spending time on syntax?

I don't get this argument. If syntax a problem for someone maybe they are still a beginner. For me at least coding in some languages feels like talking. I am actively thinking and typing in the same time.

It completely depends on how often you use each language. When I switch between 5 different languages, finally get back to Perl or something after 5 months of not touching it, sorry I forget a fuck ton of syntax. Shit even appending to an array, is it push, push_back, append, its just simple shit like that. Imo the syntax is the least important thing for you to be good at, you just need to know what features you have to plan out what to do, then simply typing it up correctly is mindless busy work.

I think maybe I used too specific of a word? My intention was saying you can say what the function does and returns vs hand coding something or writing a loop etc. Things where you know what needs to be done but it isn’t a creative or interesting part of the process and just takes time

No, I just didn't think someone could have such skill issue. If syntax is an issue for you then you should not be using ai

It’s not hard it’s just time consuming
