miriam_eHere's something odd that I've noticed:
I've read many articles and watched many videos worrying that AIs will de-skill us. Well, I've noticed the opposite happening to me. I've always been a terrible C programmer, but I've noticed my understanding of C is improving during this project. Kimi AI is still doing the vast majority of the programming, but my role is changing from purely design, to increasingly taking part in the programming. I'm still a rotten C programmer, but I'm getting better. That's a nice bonus. 🙂
