Ask HN: What to do with this new found coding superpower?

2 points by byebyetech 291 days ago | 3 comments

I have been coding for 20 years and worked on very wide range of technologies. From kernel level to web apps. I consider myself a solid 1x engineer. I can now work as 10x due to AI tools. It makes me feel like I can do anything but I am utilizing only 10% of what I am capable of using AI tools. It is giving me FOMO. Want to know your thought if you feel this way and what are you doing about it.

If you can sell that story in a job interview, you should be able to increase your comp.

I don't know how they are measuring productivity. For me it is insane productivity boost.

Here is how I use it:

1. Investigate issue in the codebase

2. Write unit tests.

3. Quick experiments.

4. Help with terminal commands and one off scripts.

5. Boilerplate code.

6. Work at higher level than language syntax.

7. Avoid wasting time looking for solution on the internet.
