If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

When I solved one issue (usually by moving code from one place to another), it usually breaks another issue. I have been stuck in these cycles many times. Moreover, testing Chrome extension is a manual and tedious process that wasn’t automated. I think I spent more time using AI to make this extension than if I had learnt how Chrome extensions are being designed and make informed edits.

I want the extension to read the storage for the API key

I want the extension to read and write content of the current page, specifically the `Jupyter.notebook` object

Why are people adopting DeepSeek's AI when its answers are so obviously biased toward the Chinese worldview propaganda?

I want the extension to be activated when the extension icon is clicked

It calls the OpenAI o1-mini to prefil the cell

First you write in human language what you want to do

Which fish tastes good for South Indian curries?

You also get a notification on how much it costs.

I want the extension to bring the user to the option page if the API key is missing

Even though the interface looks simple, it was not easy to make all of the features work at once.

I want to minimize the requested permissions where possible

I want the extension to send a desktop notification when it is complete

I want the extension to be activated on Cmd+K

I recently used AI to make this Chrome extension. The chrome extension works like this.

However, if there is AI that is able to make this Chrome extension for me end-to-end with testing and minimal feedback provided, using AI here would have saved me time. This is not yet the case.

Yeah I heavily depended on AI to make this Chrome extension (with Cursor). I had no experience in building a Chrome extension before this. The code is here

What's one common challenge software engineers face, no matter what kind of tech company they work for?

Ultimately, you need to decide how much do you need to learn. It is okay to delegate to AI if you don’t intend to learn the things you don’t need to learn.

I no longer need to browse the Internet to find out the certain Trino keywords, or how to aggregate a pandas DataFrame. It also works on wherever you have Jupyter Notebook. I wrote the Chrome extension, the data is only exposed to OpenAI and probably Google.

I binded Cmd+K to initialize generation

What were my 10 favorite great rock albums that were either forgotten or hardly known by the rock community at large during 1965-‘75?
