Hey everyone! AI is advancing really fast, and in my workplace, it seems like everyone is just relying on it without much thought, using it for quick autofill features. However, I've been taking my time to think through my coding and do it myself. Recently, I compared my code to some AI-generated code and noticed that the AI does some things better. This makes me wonder if I should adjust my approach. I'm feeling a bit outpaced since everyone else's work gets done so quickly. Am I wrong for wanting to stick to my original coding style? Should I change?

It’s all about producing results. If using AI helps others finish faster, consider adopting it too, but don’t lose the essence of your personal coding style!
AI tools have limitations and still need experienced developers to guide them. Don’t feel pressured to change your style completely. Find a balance that works for you.
Your organization likely values output over process. If you're not keeping up, maybe consider tweaking your style just to stay relevant, but don’t abandon your methods completely. Personal projects can help keep that creativity alive!
Just a thought—are you mixing up AI tools with regular IDE features? The tab key is often just your code editor’s standard auto-complete and not necessarily a full AI feature. Make sure you know the difference!
Honestly, I think you’re on the right track by thinking through your code rather than just hitting tabs for auto-complete. It's important to develop your skills, even if it feels slow compared to using AI. Keep honing your coding style—it’ll pay off in the long run!
Yeah, and who knows? The deep understanding will make you better at using AI tools later.
Yeah, I meant the AI-based auto-complete. Thanks for clarifying!
