Hi all,

Just read this on Slashdot:

| I'm a programmer who started out hesitant about AI, and at first I
| thought all that it could do was auto-complete better.
| Then I tried Claude Code, and it really is like having your own
| personal junior dev assisting you're every need. Like a junior, it
| makes mistakes, but using the *massive* amount of good code that it
| creates, and fixing what's left, is so much faster than writing it
| all from scratch yourself.
https://slashdot.org/story/25/10/25/0324244/meet-the-people-who-dare-to-say-no-to-ai

and wonder if anybody has tried this with Mercury?

I suspect that (1) this person uses C[*]/Java, and (2) the usefulness
of this "AI" stuff for Mercury will be proportionally less in a
similar magnitude as code length for same functionality, ie a factor
ten or so.

Anybody has any experiences?

/Tomas
