I feel like I've been incredibly productive with AI assisted programming over the past few weeks, but it's hard to know what folks' baselines are. So in the interest of transparency, I pushed it all up to sourcehut and added Co-Authored-By footers to the AI-assisted commits (almost all of them).
Everything is out there to inspect, including the facts that I:
- was going 12-18 hours per day
- stayed up way too late some nights
- churned a lot (+91,034 -39,257 lines)
- made a lot of code (30,637 code lines, 11,072 comment lines, plus 4,997 lines of markdown)
- ended up with (IMO) pretty good quality Ruby (and unknown quality Rust).
This is all just from the first commit to v0.8.0. https://git.sr.ht/~kerrick/ratatui_ruby/tree/v0.8.0
What do you think: is this fast, or am I just as silly as the live-streamer?
P.S. - I had an edge here because it was a green-field project and it was not for my job, so I had complete latitude to make decisions.
