Well, I have been wanting to get back into writing some code.. was working on my custom website and it was taking forever. I finally setup OpenClaw and got to work .. Now I have my site up and have set free my first opensource project ( LanScape ) From the beginning of the "A.I." hype I had said never not for me .. it will be no good .. well here I am using it, liking it and producing functioning code and projects.
Posted LabScape onto Reddit and had some negative comments about "A.I. slop" etc .. don't really care .. I am starting to thing that the developers that post comments and or think like this are just worried that they might be replaced. I see A.I. as a tool .. to aid in coding .. not to replace even a junior developer .. it can make them more productive or guide them on the path, especially working on an existing project.
I believe that A.I. coding will continue to grow in popularity and general use. There isn't any point in trying to put the tooth paste back into the tube, it just isn't going to happen. It is time for everyone to accept the idea and start to understand the tool and work to make it better and safer to user. There will be a lot of people like myself who write code to " scratch and itch " they have. If they share these projects with the world, we need to remember why they were written. i remember when IDEs started to become popular, there are still come hold outs that think if you don't write code in a text editor you are not a programmer. Its a new tool some will use it some won't, just need to accept that agree to disagree and move on.
