From overwhelm to productivity: My journey with AI-Assisted coding

I wanted to relate an experience of how a code assistant powered by AI totally transformed my way of coding. As a professional who works on big, old legacy projects, I’ve always found it difficult to comprehend poorly documented code and infinite lines of confusing functions. Late one night, hung up on a rather nasty bug, I chose to give an AI tool that I had heard positive things about a try.

I copied in a vague block of code and requested explanation. Not only did the tool deconstruct it for me, line by line, but also provide recommendations and highlight potential problems I’d overlooked. I began using it over the next few weeks to summarize code files, search out useful snippets, and create comments. It was having an expert mentor at your fingertips 24/7.

My own productivity increased dramatically, and I found myself enjoying the problem-solving once again. If you find yourself stuck or bogged down in your coding process, I strongly suggest checking out some of the AI-driven solutions available. They could very well revolutionize your workflow like they did for me.
