Let's say you have $10k in a wallet and that $10k has come from another wallet that had extensively interacted with an Iranian exchange, now you're worried that your money will be frozen or something.
What are the best ways to move that $10k to a fresh wallet without any trace to the original wallets?
I'm just writing this to get it off my chest or maybe some form of a "Is it only me?!", anyway, there’s no denying that AI is highly useful; I’m definitely not dismissing it as just a bubble. It really boosts your output on greenfield projects, during prototyping, or when you just need to get something out the door for quick feedback without worrying about long-term maintenance.
However, on brownfield projects involving complex business logic, the kind that touches multiple files and flows (like adding a new login method to migrate legacy user data), I'm starting to think it's better not to let AI write the whole thing. It's not that the AI does a poor job; it actually does quite well. But the generated code almost always needs some tweaks. To spot those necessary changes, you have to fully understand what's going on, which can be exhausting and tedious. Reviewing hundreds of lines of code across multiple files is incredibly tiring and grueling and I'm starting to think it is taking me more time than writing the thing myself!
I’m still figuring this out, but my next step is to try implementing these complex tasks myself. I'll still have AI write the utility functions and tests, and use it to review my code for missing edge cases or ACs, but I’ll put in the overall structure myself. I think this approach might save some time (or maybe not) but it will definitely be far more engaging and rewarding.
