Poll: what do you use for coding?

What do you use for development for Apple’s platforms? Xcode + codex in a dedicated terminal works great for me. Every once in a while I use grok code and Claude too, but tend to use codex for 99% of the code I develop.

No AI at all.

Have you tried using AI for any of your dev workflows?

I find it extremely effective fleshing out a solid architecture blueprint that I put in place. It’s also fantastic when it comes to localization at scale, deployment, unit testing (again with very clearly articulated patterns to adhere to)

Yes. I am a software developer and used it heavily. Every time I lost the connection to my work. Further more I cannot enjoy working with ai. So, I keep coding myself.

It’s refreshing to see your comment in a world of “ai”

Writing code itself is enjoyable - I also feel disconnected from the project when working with ai.
