This has been one the most significant improvements of using AI for me. Before I would have to really think through the plan of a new feature before committing to the implementation and would only catch incompatibilities with existing code after a good portion of the implementation was already written. Now I can ask AI for detailed implementation plans and find these nitty gritty detail problems in a few hours if not less
replyTrue. I think this is the biggest help with AI. It does not necessarily help with reaching the end goal faster all the time but it helps in trying out different iterations for quick prototypes. I find it especially useful in fast moving startups where some times we just want to validate a few ideas before fleshing them out as proper features.
replySo what’s the verdict? Was it worth it?
replyYea worth it. The original implementation ended up being the most complex, and also not a great UX. But I didn't really get it was a worse UX until I built it and tested it out a bit.
replyAnd I wasn't attached to that complex implementation in the way I would be if I architected it from scratch, so it was easy to move on.
