Often at work (and not only there) I come across the opinion that AI in programming is stupid and useless (although one has to admit that this is changing). That’s why I collect here examples of how (very) intelligent people use AI in their work and their own projects. This way, I can simply refer my interlocutors to this page and save time.

The page is continuously updated with new entries.

Aditya Agarwa (Dropbox CTO) on X:

“One of our members recently ran about 20 work trials for engineering hires—essentially, extended, weeklong job interviews—and found zero correlation between years of experience and adaptability to AI tools. Another member told me that what predicted success in hiring people who possess that adaptability was evidence of a builder’s disposition: cool personal websites, side projects, an obvious love of making things. FAANG on the résumé and a name-brand university, meanwhile, predicted almost nothing.”
