Ask HN: Any experienced devs who use AI extensively in their work?

2•atleastoptimal•2h ago
I know that vibe-coding has an obvious appeal to non-technical people and those who don't have a lot of experience, but I was wondering if those who have extensive technical experience get use out of AI coding tools.

If you do, what workflows have worked best for you? What models do you trust? Do you believe that it may be a problem offloading thought you would do yourself otherwise to a model?

Use them extensively in code analysis of unfamiliar code bases. Much more cognitively engaging to be able to engage in socratic interrogation than to fail to be able to because I am bogged down in bookkeeping.

Also use them for completion to spec of specific functions/components, as a kind of pairing. Permits staying at high cognitive engagement again without getting bogged down.

A lot of work is local, qwen and mistral models are go tos.
