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?

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.

First you write in human language what you want to do

You also get a notification on how much it costs.

Joe Milton gives 4 reasons why trade to Cowboys was a ‘blessing,’ shades Patriots’ offense - Boston.com

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

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

It calls the OpenAI o1-mini to prefil the cell

We can't afford AC and its so hot, theres literally pools of sweat on the couch (TMI sorry) what can I do? I have a ceiling fan but my room feels still feels like a sauna. Any tips to stay cool? I can't fall asleep at night😭

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

I want to minimize the requested permissions where possible

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

Facial Stimulation Clears Brain Waste and Boosts Aging Minds - Neuroscience News

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

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

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

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.

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.

D.C. Defenders win UFL title, 58-34 - NBC Sports

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

I binded Cmd+K to initialize generation

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.
