If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

I want the extension to send a desktop notification when it is complete

I want the extension to read and write content of the current page, specifically the `Jupyter.notebook` object

However, if there is AI that is able to make this Chrome extension for me end-to-end with testing and minimal feedback provided, using AI here would have saved me time. This is not yet the case.

Im not transphobic/homophobic but, am I in the wrong for being uncomfortable when a trans person comes into the lockeroom? I just dont want them to stare at me while Im changing.

I recently used AI to make this Chrome extension. The chrome extension works like this.

Yeah I heavily depended on AI to make this Chrome extension (with Cursor). I had no experience in building a Chrome extension before this. The code is here

I want the extension to be activated on Cmd+K

A new COVID variant is spreading across California. Could we see a summer surge? - Sacramento Bee

You also get a notification on how much it costs.

Even though the interface looks simple, it was not easy to make all of the features work at once.

First you write in human language what you want to do

16ft great white shark found with perfectly circular hole in head – and we know exactly what caused it - BBC Wildlife Magazine

It calls the OpenAI o1-mini to prefil the cell

I no longer need to browse the Internet to find out the certain Trino keywords, or how to aggregate a pandas DataFrame. It also works on wherever you have Jupyter Notebook. I wrote the Chrome extension, the data is only exposed to OpenAI and probably Google.

I binded Cmd+K to initialize generation

Ancient Protein Breaks Biological Rules by Working in a Mirror World - SciTechDaily

I want the extension to bring the user to the option page if the API key is missing

I want to minimize the requested permissions where possible

I want the extension to be activated when the extension icon is clicked

Is there any way for Zelensky to prevent the United States and Russia from harming Ukraine's interests?

Ultimately, you need to decide how much do you need to learn. It is okay to delegate to AI if you don’t intend to learn the things you don’t need to learn.

I want the extension to read the storage for the API key

When I solved one issue (usually by moving code from one place to another), it usually breaks another issue. I have been stuck in these cycles many times. Moreover, testing Chrome extension is a manual and tedious process that wasn’t automated. I think I spent more time using AI to make this extension than if I had learnt how Chrome extensions are being designed and make informed edits.
