HACKER Q&A

I give in, what are the resources for picking up AI-assisted coding?


I’m very much an AI skeptic. My limited exposure has me thinking, OK, it sometimes reduces typing, but it’s as often wrong as not, but then I hear people talking about big productivity increases with AI. So what are the tools people are using? Ideally, I don‘t want to have to learn a new IDE (I’m firmly ensconced in the Jetbrains family of IDEs), but I guess if I must I must. Pointers to good tutorials (I prefer text over video) and documentation would be welcome.

Don't give in to the dark side! But if you must, there's actually stuff built in to JetBrains IDE's

Try Claude code, codex-cli, or gemini-cli. They are CLIs, as their name indicates. The Gemini one is free.
