I'm still not using AI to do more than get me in the door with finding new features, like: "tell me how to get my matplotlib output into tiff".

The AI tooling seems too unstable still.

I use it mostly as a personal StackOverflow. I describe my issue as best as I can and get answers/suggestions, sometimes a code snippet that I check and paste over, but most of the time writing my own code.

The friction makes it much slower than agentic coding but it helps me stay in control and it's still faster than before.
