(22,540 posts)DU4's front end code is very personal -- I don't use any pre-written frameworks, I just write the code directly into a blank text document. So, I kinda know where everything is and how it all works, and what to adjust to get certain results. AI wouldn't really have helped with that.
I could see how it could maybe save some time if I was working on Javascript, which I'm not as familiar with -- but when I did create some Javascript for DU I actually rather enjoyed the challenge of trying to figure it out for myself. On the other hand, since I run the site I don't have a boss breathing down my neck telling me to hurry up...
AI assistance could speed things along I suppose. On the other hand, it might produce results that I didn't want, and then I'd have to spend time troubleshooting it. I guess I don't know, is the answer
