You saying ".. just code" reminds me of a Mordechai Richler quote: "Did you think of that yourself, or just read it in a book somewhere?".
I don't know if you are working in technology at the moment, but tools are available and used increasingly to do our jobs more quickly and better.
Have a look at Claude. Ask it to fix a piece of troublesome code (that you upload), or write a routine to do something specific.
Or introduduce you to some obscure language or framework.
You still have to understand what it's telling you, but if you can't think of use cases where basic AI could help you or your client, someone else certainly will.
I've worked on automation in mainframe engineering for years and I STILL object to the term 'artificial intelligence'.
IT'S NOT INTELLIGENT.
just like the majority of 'developers'.Comment

That’s a crazy impressive lineup you’ve got going, sounds like you’re diving into every AI rabbit hole possible. I’ve messed around with ChatGPT and Claude for writing, but my biggest struggle was trying to make the results sound more like me and less like... well, a robot with polite grammar. Been using it to draft newsletter intros and product blurbs, but cleaning up the tone was always the time sink.
To fix that, I’ve started running the generated drafts through a humanizer. Makes a big difference in keeping my style consistent and less robotic, especially when I’m batch-creating content.Last edited by Stevep42; 22 April 2025, 12:40.Comment
