in reply to What's your view on AI coding assistants?

I find them useful, but as with any other tool, much will depend on who is wielding the tool.

Recently, I have used AI to assist with a project I could not progress on for quite some time. Then I asked AI to write me some code. That code didn't work either, but gave me sufficient pointers to amend it into a working piece of code.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
