      I suppose it could be useful if you have the sort of boss that thinks productivity is based on the number of lines of code you write.

      I will never understand programmers claiming that AI makes them more efficient. As if Emmett and snippets hasn’t already existed for a decade or so

        It makes non-programmers more efficient. If you reach the limits of what text editors or Excel can do natively with REGEX and have to write scripts for data formatting, AI is a godsend. Takes 10 Minutes to generate a small script, glance over it to make sure it’s ok, test it and start batch formating files rather than spend hours doing it by hand.
