Ai-Assisted-Programming

AI-assisted programming is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to augment and accelerate software development. It leverages large language models and natural language processing to help developers write, test, debug, and optimize code more efficiently—from generating code snippets based on natural language descriptions to automating repetitive tasks, identifying bugs, and refactoring legacy code. Rather than replacing developers, AI-assisted programming acts as an intelligent coding partner that enhances productivity and enables developers of all skill levels to build better software faster.

Björn Andersson - It's beginning to crumble - The first steps of my breadcrumb tool (bjorn.now) (via).

But when I started building with agents, it would break me out of what I was doing to go leave breadcrumbs in Roam so I could track what I had been up to. So I stopped. And honestly, it was something I noticed when I worked on meaty problems when programming too, I would get caught up in what I did and not take notes. To my detriment later.

I’ve also noticed this. Trying to get into flow with agents is harder.

Skill issue for me? Probably. But this is all so new, and changing so fast.

I like Björn’s idea here a lot. Definitely need to explore Beads!

If you asked me 5 months ago what software engineering would look like, I would not have been close to how it actually is today. Not even.

This file is my way of pointing my agents to my “taste” in terms of how I like to engineer software.

Things are changing so quickly, how we direct agents will too.
