Ask HN: Last time you wrote code?

3•blinkbat•4h ago
do you keep up with writing syntax? do you do it as a hobby or try to weave it into work? do you do it from scratch or only when it's easier than prompting?

asking because it popped into my head that I hadn't really wrote (or edited more than a few lines of) code in quite a few weeks.

just now.

Tuesday. I tried prompting the latter half of this week, but found it incredibly unfulfilling. I’ll be writing code again on Monday.

A couple of hours ago. I do it when I need a small change and already know ~exactly what I want to type (which happens frequently), or when I get fed up with the yapper (which happens a couple times a day).

October 2024. Every line of code since then has been written by AI.

There hasn’t been a quarter before then that I haven’t written some type of code since early 1987

for work? with all the tools the company provides, only when it’s faster than prompting. so friday.

A few hours ago. I am learning a new language (rust) so I disabled auto complete and AI suggestions. Otherwise AI becomes more of a distraction than a booster.

But for languages I am more confident (like JS and dart), I usually don't write code and only review it.

If it is a throw-away project (like I am only experimenting something or just need something for one time), I don't event look at the code and only focus on the outcomes.
