So far, the AI coding assistants I've tried in earnest are GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Aider. I think Cursor is the best in terms of usability. But I'm rooting for Aider because:
1. It's terminal-based and not tied to an editor.
2. It's open source.

Just finished listening to The Pragmatic Engineer's podcast episode with Grady Booch - highly recommended! Hearing him talk about the history of software and his enthusiasm about the future of the industry lifted my spirits.
It's great to see such passion from industry pioneers!

I love using LLMs, but I wasted time this weekend attempting to use AI to create an AWS Lambda function with Puppeteer. The models I tried, gpt-4o and Amazon Q, generated projects that failed at runtime. Even worse, they suggested solutions that threw me off course.
