Programming

I use ai for my docker compose services. I basically just point it at a repo and ask it to Start the service for me. It creates docker compose files tries to run it, rwads logs and troubleshoots without intervention

When I need to update an image i just ask it to do so.

Ai also controls my git workflow. I tell it to create a branch and push or revert or do whatever. Super nice

Ai isn't perfect but it's hella nice for us who used to work closely with tech a decade ago but have since moved to move architect / resale roles with kids and just don't have the time and resources.

I know I'll get hate for this on lemmy though

But yeah, I think it's pretty great. As long as you have basic understanding of whatever it's going you can get pretty far and do a lot of fun stuff

i don't think so

I'm having the opposite experience: It's been super fun! It can be frustrating though when the AI can't figure things out but overall I've found it quite pleasant when using Claude Code (and ollama gpt-oss:120b for when I run out of credits haha). The codex extension and the entire range of OpenAI gpt5 models don't provide the same level of "wow, that just worked!" Or "wow, this code is actually well-documented and readable."

Seriously: If you haven't tried Claude Code (in VS Code via that extension of the same name), you're missing out. It's really a full generation or two ahead of the other coding assistant models. It's that good.

Spend $20 and give it a try. Then join the rest of us bitching that $20 doesn't give you enough credits and the gap between $20/month and $100/month is too large 😁
