Can AI Support Learning Without Taking It Away?

A student asked me about using AI code review in team development training for an existing project. Tools such as Gemini Code Assist and CodeRabbit may find problems that people miss and reduce the burden of review. They may also give newcomers a chance to discover problems they would not notice on their own. But does it count as training if they simply run the commands and apply the changes suggested by AI? AI review can improve the code. Does the person who wrote it improve as well? ...

Codex and GPG Signing In my usual Git workflow, I sign commits with GPG. There is no deep reason for it, but I like seeing Verified in the GitHub commit history. git config --global commit.gpgsign true This setting itself is fine, but I ran into a small issue when asking Codex to handle Git work.

Aim to Be a Beloved Engineer Over a Brilliant Jerk

“AI utilization” is becoming commonplace in the engineering community. In such an era, I’ve been thinking about what kind of engineer we should aspire to be.

Through extensive use of Claude Code, I’ve come to see that the latter has a brighter future ahead. Let me share my thoughts on “the future engineer archetype” based on my experience with AI tools. ...

Tried Using ChatGPT Pro

Summary 30,000 JPY per month is expensive, but it’s worth it. Especially, having 100 uses of Deep Search per month is amazing. Introduction On February 5, 2024, OpenAI released Deep Search. It seemed useful, but the ChatGPT Plus plan only allows 10 uses per month. Since that limit felt too restrictive, I decided to subscribe to the ChatGPT Pro plan (cutting down on food expenses to afford it). The Value of ChatGPT Pro One major advantage is the relaxed usage limits for models. ...
