> The new way: The entire premise of AI coding tools is to automate the thinking, not just the typing
I'd disagree. For me, I direct the AI to implement my plan - it handles the trivia of syntax and boilerplate etc.
I now work kinda at the "unit level" rather than the "syntax level" of old. AI never designs the code for me, more fills in the gaps.
I find this quite satisfying still - I get stuff done but in half the time because it handles all the boring crap - the typing - while I still call the shots.
Don't you have to go over whatever the chatbot spurts? Isn't that part more boring than writing the code yourself ?
