Mike Ekkel on Mythryl: “I think using AI while coding is incredibly powerful but figuring…”

As an engineer this has been my experience too. It's great to quickly get started and move through mundane things but you eventually hit a roadblock. Even knowing how the code works, it still sometimes feels like trying to fix something in a legacy codebase.

Honest reflections from coding with AI so far as a non-engineer: It can get you 70% of the way there, but that last 30% is frustrating. It keeps taking one step forward and two steps backward. If I knew how the code worked I could probably fix it myself.
