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 read and write content of the current page, specifically the `Jupyter.notebook` object

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.

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

Important scientific finding confirms ancient biblical events - The Brighter Side of News

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

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.

What to know about the 2025 U.S. Open, from tee times to TV schedule - The Washington Post

I want to minimize the requested permissions where possible

I want the extension to be activated on Cmd+K

You also get a notification on how much it costs.

When are the gas prices supposed to go up? Just asking because I was told by "educated" liberals that they were going to go throught the roof, but all I see are prices going down, especially in my home state of Ohio!!!

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

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

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

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

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 binded Cmd+K to initialize generation

If you believe in God, do you think God can save you from cancer?

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.

It calls the OpenAI o1-mini to prefil the cell

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