AI use for development?

[JoseMachete]

My very utterly humble two cents as a variant dev, no AI for me. Just not my thing. Might be a tool I'm missing but I don't care.

That goes pretty much exactly for me too

as the borg guy (I think "maintainer" is too strong a word for me... I am not in the same sort of category as Nick or Eric) I can say that I don't use AI in coding the borg at all. I probably should but I am stubborn and obstinate plus I find hand coding more fun.

Out of curiosity, how much are the active maintainers using AI here these days?

Quite a few years ago I stuck my toe in the water for helping out with bug fixes, to-do items in the code, etc. but it soon became evident that my available time combined with the level of my C chops meant that I wasn't going to be much help. More recently though I've been using Claude to help write code for various small things at work, and I've been impressed with its results (though they aren't good enough not to require oversight yet).
