Part 8/9:
The iterative nature of AI coding, where developers can submit commands and return to results later, offers a unique asynchronous workflow. However, the speed of the AI can vary. The developer experienced variable times—sometimes taking up to 15 minutes to process requests—which, while slower than manual coding, still represents a significant productivity boost compared to traditional methods.
Version Control and Rollbacks
A major advantage of using AI-driven coding tools is the integrated version control system. The developer advocates for committing code frequently, as this not only provides a safety net to roll back to previous states but also allows for effective tracking of changes. The ability to restore checkpoints further enhances the developers’ control over their projects.
