I'll ask ChatGPT questions all day, maybe even copy/paste/adjust some code it wrote, but I simply don't want AI in my IDE typing code. **@joranquinten** · 2 upvotes > It's a matter of being able to do more in a day. (Or freeing up time for other stuff) **@ovaistariq** · 1 upvotes > I have been trying GitHub copilot, and I don't want it to write complete implementations, but it helps write code fragments like refactoring, etc. Similar tools for developers would make them more productive. **@rhbrolo** · 1 upvotes > Thank you for so sharing many valuable tips and concepts ! > Also being passionate about workflow optimization, I think some of these techniques are underrated or overlooked by quite a lot of developers, even more experienced ones. I often noticed they use only a few and quite skeptical to change. But imo, the benefits of using them as a package skillset beat the risk of altering/breaking a workflow that's already working . **@eduardofaria** · 1 upvotes > I am a 40 years old designer, beginning to code, thank you for bringing this article to us <3 --- Tags: [#git](https://daily.dev/tags/git) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-a-faster-and-more-efficient-developer--p52bbzwza) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"How to Become a Faster and More Efficient Developer?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-a-faster-and-more-efficient-developer--p52bbzwza","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-a-faster-and-more-efficient-developer--p52bbzwza"},"datePublished":"2023-03-30T10:22:00.053Z","dateModified":"2024-04-15T08:38:32.600Z","description":"Learn how to improve your velocity and efficiency as a developer by using tools like Git UI, focusing on problem-solving, sketching before coding, mastering...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/14808bc0c16becdfd3e0a4897aff54c6?_a=AQAEufR","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/14808bc0c16becdfd3e0a4897aff54c6?_a=AQAEufR","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Komodor","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Komodor","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/e19a5e0a87b9454e8bf55dffcf00bbd4","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/komodor"},"commentCount":16,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-a-faster-and-more-efficient-developer--p52bbzwza","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":190},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":16}],"keywords":"git","timeRequired":"PT7M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Komodor","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/komodor"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"How to Become a Faster and More Efficient Developer?"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-to-become-a-faster-and-more-efficient-developer--p52bbzwza","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"Good article until the end; AI is not going to write any of my code, period.
