cursor and all the other ai code editors always write bad enough code that i have stopped using them completely.

i like the inline completions that things like supermaven provides or github copilot or even the jetbrains full line completion models.

Apart from that, I might use Claude or Chat GPT to talk about an idea, but I don't really use it much. I prefer to use my real life experience and skills.

Maybe if you're a junior developer, your projects might work with AI editors, but it's also the worst time for you to use them because you will never develop your own skills.

As a fancy autocomplete with a given pattern but with different things which pre-AI autocomplete didn't recognize that's where all these tools really shine but it's a very small subset.

The one thing which has changed my life though is like the Whisper voice input. I use it on the Mac using Mac Whisper and on my phone using the FUTO keyboard and it's just amazing. Like right now I'm typing all of this without any single edit. It just gets all of it correct.

Is it significantly better than the iOS/macOS built in dictation software?

Yeah, I love talking about my ideas with an LLM. They can be good at finding holes in my planned approach to a project. And if the holes aren't relevant, it's usually because I didn't explain myself very well at the outset, which means I need to go back to basics before I talk to a human about the project.
