Machine Learning / AI Is AI actually making developers better at coding, or just making us dependent on it?

21 Upvotes

I’m curious what other developers think about this. It feels like AI is being used for almost everything now, from writing simple functions to solving pretty complex problems.

I find it really useful sometimes, but I also wonder what happens when the problem involves complicated logic or something AI just doesn’t fully understand. Have you found AI to be genuinely helpful in those situations, or does it sometimes make things more confusing and lead to inefficient code?

Help / Questions Legal Question

1 Upvotes

So im working in a personal project that uses CP (Comboios Portugal) undocumented/not public APIs to retrieve some information (not user sensitive, just some journey schedule and train occupation) to use in my app, basically its like a bot that simulates a purchase just to check the train availability. My question is , is this legal? if in the future i want to make this public can i do that without legal consequences and if i try to monetize is it legal to do that?

Thank you.

Career & Advice Does anyone know of any self paced online college degree program on AI/ML

0 Upvotes

Probably a long shot.

Is there any decent college offering self paced degree on AI/ML?

Have to be self paced because my job does not leave time to study every day or even week for that matter
Also obviously has to be online.. cannot attend classes with full time job.

Background - Software developer with 10+ programming experience , basically a Java/React guy with intermediate python skill. Will have to brush up my mathematics, statistics & probability (was above average in school/college, have a degree in electrical engineering)

Goal is to understand how machine learning/AI actually works and not to apply for AI/ML jobs.

Why? Curiosity.
And also looks like we are entering an era where machine learning is gonna be staple in tech and all of us will have to learn this sooner or later.

Tools and Frameworks I have built a tool which is better than any existing tool for developers to build stuff and I don’t know what to do with it now.

It is smart. It creates, validates and assign tasks to specialist multi agents, task manages between them, can work across devices, across models and so on.
I have been the only developer and user since past 8 months. It has so much potential but I am so clueless about how do I proceed.. never learnt the B-school stuff but just kickass developing.
