However it’s so hard to be disciplined. It often creates quite a lot of code. And I’m someone that has to write stuff myself to understand it. I’m not great at reading code. I have to really push myself to manually refactor and tidy things. 🤷🏻‍♂️

To answer your original question I’m using cursor plan mode a lot. Where you create a mini spec and it executes. I use it because it helps me think through a problem. Then the tables and checklists seem to give the AI guardrails that reduce (but not eliminate) mistakes.

But a user story is far too high level. I can’t believe we are anywhere near the point that is practical. The other issue is a story can be quite a large PR. That’s a lot of weird AI code to review.

I’m asking it very small and specific things. “Create the state using library X and then create a form using the components in the existing library to do Y”. Cursor makes a plan. I review that. It executes and there is always things to be fixed or simplified.

Oh I had misread your message. I wouldn’t think to try it because I’m just using AI to speed up learning some new libraries or save time writing boiler plate heavy UI code. It’s a help when Google fails or documentation is poor or not a good fit for how I learn.

Not heard the term and found github.blog/ai-and-ml/ge... if that is what you mean? I use the plan mode in Cursor, but that is a spec for small specific chunks. AI struggles with that, so the blocker being todays AI cannot cope with high level tasks and no serious developer would claim it can?

AI assisted. But more to try things out and learn. Although AI seems to be an easy trap to fall into where you make yourself ignorant. Then use it lots when refactoring repetitive UI changes.

How old is gridlover now? Old enough to buy alcohol?

I had to jump over to X to see it properly due to bsky potato video 😆 Just stunning work and the fluid movement is gorgeous.

React Native, especially now that React Native for web is good enough for simple apps if you still need a web version.
