Most of my developer journey? Forking repos and hacking away at them until they do what I need.

AI-assisted coding hits the same vibe. The difference? Wild. Now basically any codebase I dream up already exists somewhere in the training data. Need a specific implementation? It's there. Want to modify some obscure pattern? Done.

It's like having infinite forks available instantly. The workflow feels familiar—copy, tweak, iterate—but the scale is completely different. Used to spend hours hunting for the right starter project. Now it materializes on demand.

Still the same creative process underneath. Just way faster.

Nah, this is the fast-forward button of the AI era. Moving bricks manually before, now automated, but I still feel like something is missing.

AI coding is really a game-changer, I used to struggle to find a starter project, but now it is generated directly, which is a bit outrageous

ngl ai coding really changed the game, but it feels like it's missing that sense of exploration? The process of digging through repos for inspiration used to be real learning.

Damn, if there had been AI a few years ago, I wouldn't have had to dig around on GitHub for three days and nights.

Bro, isn't this just the ultimate form of a fork? The mainland is rising and falling.

ngl this is exactly why the development experience now is completely different from two years ago... before, you really had to dig through GitHub for half a day, but now you can just prompt and get results instantly.

AI coding... it really just industrializes the forking process. From a data perspective, it looks like efficiency has increased by a factor of 3 to 5.

NGL, this is the real truth about how AI is changing development—it’s shifting from grunt work to truly creative work.

Not gonna lie, AI coding has really changed the game, but I still think you need to understand the code logic yourself. AI-assisted coding is insanely fast, it feels like all the time I used to spend debugging was wasted. The "infinite forks" analogy is spot on—while efficiency is skyrocketing, my brain is getting a bit lazier.
