I tried Github CoPilot for about a year, I may try Claude for a bit sooner or later.

It felt like it got in the way about half the time. The only place I really liked it was for boilerplate SQL code... when I was generating schema migration files, it did pretty good at a few things based on what I was writing. Outside that, I don't feel like it helped me much.

For the Google search results stuff, Gemini, I guess... It's hit or miss... sometimes you'll get a function or few things that look like they should work, but no references to the libraries you need to install/add and even then may contain errors.

I watched a friend who is really good with the vibe coding thing, but it just seemed like a frustrating exercise in feeding it the errors/mistakes and telling it to fix them. It's like having a brilliant 10yo with ADD for a jr developer..

…that never stops asking you for more work.

And doesn’t bother you when the tab is closed.

I can see why a lot of high school and college kids are going to need to claw.

The issue is that you can't give AI a task and let it go off and it actually performs said task in a couple hours and then comes to ask for more... you have to pretty much baby sit it.

Now, I could see a single person potentially managing 2-3 AI sessions across different projects as part of a larger application. Such as a UI component/section along with one or more backend pieces. But then, you're going to need 2-3x the AI resources, network use, etc. Which is something I wouldn't mind experimenting with on someone else's dime.

Are you using project architecture, and rules documents?
