Favorite Tech in the Project:
I’ve got to say, Flask is my favorite part of the tech stack we’re using. It’s fantastic for setting up web servers quickly, and I love how it doesn’t get in the way of writing my Python code. It’s just perfect for adding backend functionality to our interactive features.
How it Could Improve:
Flask is pretty awesome, but it can be a bit minimalistic at times. For beginners, it might be a bit daunting to figure out which extensions to use for larger projects.
AI in the Project:
We’re leveraging AI, including ChatGPT, to streamline both coding and design processes. It’s like a smart assistant that’s always on standby to offer help or suggestions, which is incredibly handy.
Pros and Cons:
The major plus is the boost in efficiency and the fresh perspective on problem-solving. However, there is a flip side: it can be tempting to lean too heavily on AI, potentially stunting deeper learning in coding.
Impact on Skills:
Certainly, it’s honing my problem-solving skills. Engaging with AI forces me to confront areas I’m less familiar with, spurring a lot of growth. Still, it’s key to balance AI use with hands-on coding practice to ensure a solid understanding of the fundamentals.
