If you are a programmer using an AI LLM to help you code, are you finding it speeding you up or slowing you down? What impact has it had on your programming?

I want the extension to read and write content of the current page, specifically the `Jupyter.notebook` object

I want the extension to read the storage for the API key

I want the extension to bring the user to the option page if the API key is missing

Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?

Ultimately, you need to decide how much do you need to learn. It is okay to delegate to AI if you don’t intend to learn the things you don’t need to learn.

Yeah I heavily depended on AI to make this Chrome extension (with Cursor). I had no experience in building a Chrome extension before this. The code is here

When I solved one issue (usually by moving code from one place to another), it usually breaks another issue. I have been stuck in these cycles many times.
