My name is Aleks and my goal is to create interesting and practical web based projects in React and JavaScript that will help you learn and improve as a developer.
I get what you were going for. This is a quality article with some very good suggestions on how to become a better, or a more productive developer, but the title is somewhat clickbaity. :)
The original "10x developer" is largely a myth, and even if it wasn't you definitely shouldn't be striving to be one. If you were able to write 10x more code than anyone else and not lose on quality or your own sanity you wouldn't be working as a regular dev anyway.
Your advice is sound, though, especially using existing tools/components/libraries when you can instead of reinventing the wheel. I would be cautions about using AI in office environment though, as your company might be against that for security/privacy reasons.
I'm a programming student passionate about software development and tech trends. As a developer entrepreneur, I'm constantly on the lookout for innovative tools
I said at the beginning of the article that the term is often misunderstood and overvalued. I am not saying that with my tips you will create 10 more projects than a regular dev but IMHO they will definitely help you write clean code, save you a lot of time, and be more productive.
About AI, yes you're absolutely right some big companies like Google forbid using AI for security reasons.
And for using existing components/libraries you should be careful and use tried, tested secure/maintainable, and scalable solutions.
Thank you for your great comment.
There are also licenses to take into account. I haven't kept up with the latest versions, but AI could generate exact copies of e.g. GPL licensed code which cannot be used in proprietary codebases.
Is it likely to lead to a lawsuit? No. And it is probably very much a gray and unexplored area. But when coding by hand we have to ensure we don't violate licenses and copyright. Just because AI is doing the work we can't throw any considerations out the window.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
