Upfront : As a member of the first student cohort and a non-user of Hacker News this is my opinion. I've relied on this tool consistently over the past year. While it's not the only AI I use, it's the only one that provides a comfortable and effective workflow. The core strengt, for me, lies on my agency. I control the decision-making and discuss the implementation steps. while I may generate fewer lines of code than my peers, the work is solid, well-explained, and easily iterable. Also I knwo the code i just wrote, the ability to articulate the function of every line of code is a crucial benefit that I deeply value. It it's the sweet spot for me and i fell more productive.
