How I use AI coding tools as a Rails dev
14-Mar-2025 113
It surprises me sometimes that a lot of devs are still not very bullish on coding with an LLM, so here is a little summary from a Rails dev in the middle of the usage spectrum about what I'm using the LLMs for and what my current toolset is.
A year ago, I made the funny mistake of buying GitHub Copilot for a year because it seemed like the best solution for JetBrains at the time. It's "funny" and a mistake because the landscape changes so fast that I think experimentation is essential for the years to come. Let me chat for a bit about all the tools I use so I can laugh about it again in a year or so.
My best prediction is that the whole midterm future of the "AI coding thing" is us collaborating with the IDE/editor about:
Architect a solution.
What code to write.
What code to re-write.
A.
