AI coding assistants promise speed, but do they deliver? Explore data, developer insights, and security risks showing why AI feels faster but often slows production. Learn where tools like Cursor and Claude Code help, and where they fail.
Is it though? Sure he could hire a programmer, but Claude is far less expensive. I agree with his position, he’s a project/product manager, not a programmer. And that’s okay sometimes.
You’re right, I apologize, it’s really 3 lines of code repeated over and over. It’s repeated for each monitor/action (brighten/dimming) being performed. The script file it technically 47 lines because I have 3 monitors and 10 different shortcuts.
Here’s the first action for the first monitor. Just edit the name and the brightness amount and voilà. The comment inline code formatting might put it on one line.
To be honest, I hesitate to even consider this example programming. The only thing it’s doing is executing a single command when a key combination is pressed. It doesn’t require really any programming experience. No loops, variables, scope, no time complexity, nothing.
Using an AI robbed them of learning even the smallest of concepts and they have not grown as a result.
It’s the same thing with any other concept; I don’t need to dedicate my life being an auto mechanic, but I should at least be able to know how to change a tire when I need to.
