10 observations after working with AI in 2025
myltsoM for coding
1. code has been correct so regularly that I assume that it will work
2. it can execute so quickly that it is disorienting
3. on larger projects taste is becoming the most important thing that I can add as a human
is so easy to get into feature creep
4. I pay attention to the suggestions at the end of every prompt and about half the time I take the suggestions
for example, would you like me to write an executive summary?
5. I am discovering good workflows and what works and what doesn’t work
6. I am already writing small apps that I would only use one time
the other day I wrote some JavaScript to analyze an API response. I don’t have to save it.
7. with this rate of workflow simpler architectural ideas make more sense
an SQLITE database is very effective and it simplifies things especially if you’re just building a prototype. I had not really used them until recently.
8. the AI is so good at things like SQL queries and JavaScript that you don’t need to have a framework anymore to simplify it. You can just have it write the raw queries.
9. I am learning a tremendous amount
of the nature of talking with AI, I can just put an error message or a code that I’m working on or that somebody else is done and ask how it works but if I still understand, I can ask it to tell me as if I’m a middle schooler
10. AI is really upsetting the value proposition of many industries
iI just spent five minutes promptingAI for a website idea and it built it for me in two minutes. This would’ve taken me at least all day a year ago.
