Why I *will* pay for a coding AI
Anyone remember the old days when you were writing code? You'd run across a roadblock and need guidance. Back in the old days, first, you'd ask Usenet- and sometimes you'd get a useful answer. But if that didn't work, you'd actually buy a book. This was before Amazon so you'd have to go to a bookstore, pray they had more than six real CompSci books, and buy one. They weren't cheap.
Today, it's much the same -- first, you go to YouTube, wait through the ads, hope the content you want is there, and not AI generated, and if that doesn't work, you go to Stackoverflow, get yelled at, get told you have dishonored your parents, then, you are forced to see if Udemy or Pluralsight has a course, if Safaribooks has what you want, and, if all else fails, go to Amazon and buy a book. Again, none of this is $10 a month.
If AIs can do this, without my being yelled at, or ad'ed to death, it's worth it!
