Macros are more powerful than AI. They are underused because lisps look strange.

I'm creating a very sophisticated booking app with little coding experience. It's definitely not overhyped

What an excellent and clear video with high signal and no noise. So easy to follow and get the concepts without getting lost in the technicalities. Thanks - Subbed!

Thanks for the content, youre amazing and please don't stop releasing this gems!

I seriously cannot wait until the next video drops. I'ts take me a bit of playing around but using this has really streamlined how i do things. I am trying to create an app that helps me visualize data from a mongodb instance.

When I see AI and the hype, it reminds me of VB6 bubble and burst leaving developers reeling from Microsoft's decision to move onto .NET platform. Microsoft had a legit reason, so the AI trained on public data is not as well trained as production code hidden behind firewalls. AI is as good as the source it's trained from. I see AI is going to be part of coding practices as it's going to aid but not replace software engineers and sorts.

I can’t wait for more of this type of content ❤

It's sad, but I think you're right. Overseeing AI creating code will eventually be more efficient than writing it yourself, even if the latter is far more fulfilling work in my opinion...

Thank you very much! super helpful had my own prompt library didn't know about this.

Wow, this is called perfection in teaching. Your explanations made me understand things at such a foundation level that i kept getting lost with the possibilities running through my mind. I literally had to repeat parts of video several times before i could focus on your next statement due to constant deluge of ideas popping up in my brain based on your explanation.

Come and convince my boss after he has seen all that marketing nonsense

Huge thanks 🎉

Really thanks for the content. It's gold for me as a dev.

please tell me what should I do if after I wrote the command pip install aider-chat but at the end it says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'distutils' What should I do in this situation?

"It is unlikely the VCs made that kind of investment without significant due diligence" ... remember Theranos?

If I could double thumbs up this video I would; you covered this ground so well and so much 🔥🔥, and I've already gone through it twice now since it's so thorough. Oh, I also signed up for your Coding the Future with AI, Skool Community Course.

Great series concept and learning approach. Look forward to seeing more of these videos as I'm a hobby coder stuck in copy paste mode with multiple providers. Thanks :)

Amazing content 🎉

For the journeyman coder, it'll be eating your lunch way sooner than a Maths Olympiad FANG dev. World class coders are few and far between, and likely not that worried yet, but the mere mortals should be watching it closely. It's certainly not there yet, but it's also not unreasonable to expect that it could be within the next 5 years.

Would be nice if your next app build demo involved using Aider's new architect/editor combo feature.

First!

I am always confused when people say "AI makes mistakes" as if that means it's useless. Humans make WAY more mistakes throughout the day. The only difference is that we adjust ourselves (oftentimes we do it automatically without even consciously thinking of our mistake as mistakes). The solution to this AI problem is to just ask it more questions and try to approach a task from a different angle just as you would if you didn't use AI. Of course one has to know how to program overall to know what is valid and what is bs. My workflow is easily 3 times faster than a few years ago.

The uncertainty of if the AI is hallucinating, even for one single character of code will prevent AI from writing mission critical code, ever. That being said, the remaining 90% of code that is bug ridden anyway will be migrated to AI in the next decades.

I don't anyone should ever pay attention to demos, AI or not. A correctly skeptical view comes when you have a competent engineer attempt to use it for things, and a much more frightening view comes when you consider the risk this poses to us growing the next generation of engineers. I've got one video already on this, and will be doing more, my focus is on growing engineers.

Very interesting!!!

Excellent

Thank you sir for this series. You're among the few who is building an efficient software engineers.

“You probably thought I was gonna walk you through some installation of an AI coding assistant, NAH” 👏 Just another reason he’s one of the best

How about Tabnine coding assistant? Is it good?

Excellent approach. New member here. My challenge: navigating NDAs, data privacy laws, and TISAX certifications. Leaders and clients have major concerns about uploading to public servers/AI. For now, I explore these tools in my free time to stay current, but can't use them professionally at all or at least don't dare to.

Sota models have output token limits less than 9k. Fully functional repos for relatively small projects have token counts that often exceeded 15-20k This is all anyone needs to know to understand that an AI isn't going to be a simple one stop shop to create something for a little while at least.

Assistants like copilot are gamechangers. I'm self taught and have a hard time recalling syntax and remembering implementations. I've coded for years though, so I have a sense of what's possible and how to accomplish it already. Assistants like copilot let me see a proposed implementation then tweak it for my use case. It's easily 10xd what I'm capable of.

It's kind of ironic that SWE historically don't like middle management. Mark my words, the SWE of today will be the PMs of AI teams tomorrow

Its funny how LLM's basically stepped in as the new semantic search as google search kept getting worse.

Why not Cursor, it has capabilities of both with many advanced features too.

I had an awful experience with the new version of aider and claude to make my app. It didn't follow the jira stories at all.

Over the past year I was expecting huge productivity improvements in the projects developed by my EEE MSc students. It turns out the main limitation is that they still need to understand the code. If they don't understand it, I don't accept it. So, net improvements appear to be around 50%. With this year's ai models, which derive the maths behind the code, I would expect 100% (i.e., double) improvement.

Binge watching your vids! Great content 🎉

It'll come for the lawyers first..

Tim, I completely agree with your point on AI’s impact beyond just coding-it’s revolutionizing the entire software engineering cycle. Your teaching style is not only practical but also deeply insightful on a theoretical level, and I believe your experience really shines through in this analysis. It’s refreshing to see such a well-rounded approach to AI in development, and it makes me wonder if an AI-based Software Engineering methodology could be developed, combining hands-on application with a solid theoretical framework. Your approach certainly paves the way for such advancements! While scanning through others' videos, I realized I've watched most of yours and have been practicing with Aider/Claude Sonet. I just don’t have enough time to follow everyone in practice!

Another great video as always. Expect nothing less from you. For some reason, every time i watch your videos, i feel inspired to try to learn and practice more. Just a small request, it would be better to increase the frequency of videos because the way AI is progressing it will be too late to apply theses skills in any meaningful way at least the tooling part after 3 months( i am stretching here, most likely one or two months will change the paradigm of coding).

Thanks Tim! I am going to sign up to your community. Cheers!

I have always, and will always, maintain that AI is a tool. Whether you are using it for creative writing, coding, or whatever. It is a tool. It is not meant to replace human involvement, it is meant to help. That's why Bing and Github call their AIs "copilot", they are not meant to be the captain.

Totally disagree that you cannot show us how to setup the CODY and AIDER properly for your tutoring. This is the kind of TUTORS I HATE, ..........

Thanks!

Best of the best

Awesome content. You should release more often

there is no free alternatives for a set up like this? are all LLM's API's paid?

Ai is just a faster stackoverflow search. It is very usefull indeed. But only engineers, and among them seniors and experts can prompt it efficiently. In fact, when I saw juniors prompt it and using its output, I was facepalming. Then mentoring them what they did wrong.
