My learnings from Addy Osmanis article on how good is AI React coding
These are my notes from the article How Good Is AI at Coding React (Really)? by Addy Osmani. There's a lot of information packed into this presentation Addy says that AI is a force multiplier. "It amplifies everything: good requirements, good architecture, good taste" AI is most useful for scenarios such as building isolated components, scaffolding, implementing explicit requirements. Its less useful for scenarios such as: multi-step integration, design taste, complex state management. We can generalize this to: the higher the complexity the less useful (productive) is the LLM. I called this same point out in a presentation I made in October to our tech leaders. And in fact Addys says this explicity later in the article: "If you remember nothing else from this article, remember this: AI handles simple tasks well and then falls off a cliff as complexity rises." I like that Addy calls out "Objective benchmarks". We've seen by now that LLM model ...
