I'm not saying that you shouldn't use AI.

There was a submission to a blog post discussing applications of AI but it got killed for some reason.

I remain convinced that if you use AI to write code then your product will sooner or later turn into a buggy mess. I think this will remain the case until they figure out how to make a proper memory system. Until then, we still have to use our brains as the memory system.

One strategy I've seen that I like is using AI to prototype, but then write actual code yourself. This is what the Ghostty guy does I believe.

I agree that AI can write decent Rust code, but Rust is not a panacea. From what I heard, Cursor has a lot of vibe-coded Rust code, but it didn't save it from being, as I said, a buggy mess.

		Yeah the level of depraved code I've had contractors ask me to review... I don't think people realize how low the bar is.
