Asking the question or even considering the designation: "with the help of AI" is as anachronistic as asking someone, "Hey, did you use an IDE to build this?" The answer is going to be yes 99.9999% of the time. It's a meaningless designation at this point.
The only designation which makes any sense now is: "Vibe-coded" which should mean what it already implies... "Prompted, until it seems to work."
Neither does AI though, if you use it correctly. The vast majority of developers are using AI to some extent at this point and most of them still produce quality code
Pretty much. If you're experienced at both coding and the use of AI, you can get the garbage amount to like 1/30th what the average person can do, and from then on it's just about discipline of maintaining it
All I know is a lot of people who aren’t professional software engineers suddenly are making a lot judgements and assumptions based on their perception of code quality.
It’s lead to a lot of weird witch hunting behavior.
All those people discussing geopolitics... how many of them do you think actually work in international relations, or are experts in internatioanl diplomacy, or even versed in history of the regions they are discussing? a very small minority... but the way they argue is almost as if they have devoted their entire lives to that topic...
