Transcript: Wes Bos Well, let's talk about rain on some people's parades. We're going to be talking about the state of AI in web dev. I know there are some people who are still holding out on the fact that AI coding sucks and that it's never going to be any good. From the results of this survey ai coding has had a massive jump in terms of people who use it and i think we were speculating a little bit beforehand obviously that it's a little bit of Becoming more normalized but also it's gotten better over the past year obviously uh but I think people maybe are a little less eager to just say, F that, I'm not doing any AI coding at All. As you can see, the percentage change here has been pretty massive. Yeah. Scott Tolinski I think there's a mix of people realizing, oh, it actually is kind of handy. I can see that by if i post stuff on blue sky i don't get absolutely annihilated um same i've noticed that too yeah i like i don't want to be the like like a hype master um i feel like i have a Pretty good balanced take on this type of stuff and it's certainly not a silver bullet but i i don't think i think this is a fairly monumental shift in our industry, and I don't think it's Going away. So I think in the last maybe six months or so, we've seen a lot of the people who have been very against it to say, oh, this stuff is actually pretty helpful, or oh, it actually is much better At what I want to do right now. So there's certainly people on the other end of the spectrum, which are full psychosis and shipping all kinds of slop. But there's 7,000 lines a day, baby. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Wes Bos I yeah, I think it's interesting here. We see a big jump where 18% of respondents to this, they have written, it seems like 75% of their code they write has been written with AI. And that's a big jump from the year prior than that. And even higher than that is 19% of folks write, let's say 85 to 90% of their code with AI. And granted, this survey, the results are going to be skewed towards people who are writing code with AI, right? It's the state of AI. And it's also going to be skewed towards the people who've responded to this survey. Again that's a thousand two hundred people which in the vast world of our industry is a small small bit but again this is a sampling right and what would you say you're at right now because Scott Tolinski If you were to ask me i just feel like i like i don't know that i can put a number on that because it's just it's just like part of my workflow of yeah it's not like i was like oh now I'm going to Go to this other place and only write with AI. And now I'm going back to my Notepad++ in hand coding. It's just like kind of a back and forth. And sometimes you're jumping in and you're factoring something, you're reviewing something. I don't know where I would be at this. Probably at like a 76 i were to guess but like it's it's similar to like how much of your code is written with tab completion a couple years ago yeah it's it's a kind of a hard thing to to sort Wes Bos Of guess there well mine is mine is closer to 90 west strictly because ai loves to write a shit ton of code when it does not need to. Scott Tolinski Simply by volume of code? Wes Bos By volume of code. It's just like pouring it in there even if it doesn't need to. I don't know. If we're talking about effectively, I'm not quite sure. I did just fully hand code a project the other day from scratch, and it was great. I got a lot done. But again, it was probably more efficient than what the AI is writing. I would say mine has definitely obviously increased from the year prior to this. So just like many of these things, I think that number is just ([Time 0:02:14](https://share.snipd.com/snip/7a00056b-4bd0-4dd8-9dd3-b411f1d11230)) - **Wes Found AI Generates Too Much Verbose Code** - Wes shares he personally writes close to 90% of his code with AI because it generates a lot of verbose output by volume. - He contrasts that with a recent fully hand-coded project which felt great and sometimes more efficient than the AI output. Transcript: Scott Tolinski Simply by volume of code? Wes Bos By volume of code. It's just like pouring it in there even if it doesn't need to. I don't know. If we're talking about effectively, I'm not quite sure. I did just fully hand code a project the other day from scratch, and it was great. I got a lot done.

Transcript: Wes Bos Providers. So this includes both experience and sentiment, whether you've heard of it, used it, never heard of it, blah blah the first one being the most people have heard of and used it is chat gpt Scott Tolinski And i think this encompasses all open ai models um the way yeah this is yeah it's weird that they label it chat gpt and i guess like some of the the most recent uh open ai models are called Gpt it and we got to do a better job at naming these models you know it's it's such a confusing thing but i i also do think there's quite a few people that are still just typing into chat gpt Copy pasting the code and out in and out of their thing i don't think it's a large amount but i think there's quite a few people doing it still totally yeah i i think there is and that's honestly Wes Bos It's a it's a it's an it's a less scary introduction to coding with ai yeah because you can say is this you know i just have this quick little question okay i got a little snippet okay it works It doesn't work whatever i can i can eyeball it from there uh and that is like a big jump between that. And then you have the in-editor tab completion stuff. And then you get into the world of just like, hey, chat, make me an app. You know, I mean, there's different levels to this in terms of what you're using. But as far as models go, people have used it. And negative sentiment is 10% for chat GPT, i'm just going to chalk this up to all gpt models where claude is used it and has negative is only two percent so a 10 negative versus claude has A two percent and likewise claude also has that 46 positive so people and this is this i'm going to this mirrors my experience as well. I, in fact, when we did this, how much do you rage at AI? I raged at Claude considerably less, which I feel like has to tell you something. Scott Tolinski Yeah. If you scroll down underneath this, there is out of the models mentioned, which of these does your company actually pay or do you or your company actually pay for? I think this is probably a better outlook of like, with these, like I've heard of it and have positive sentiment. I think what ([Time 0:06:56](https://share.snipd.com/snip/79baf034-8e7c-43d3-beaf-3aed8a9c20bd)) - **Surveys Miss Important Coding Agents That Users Actually Use** - Many popular coding tools (OpenCode, Cursor, Pi) were heavily written-in by respondents, indicating surveys missed key players. - The hosts argue survey lists need updating because users often conflate apps, agents, and models. Transcript: Wes Bos If you get into the other coding agents, you'll see OpenCode was a write-in for 389 people. OpenCode is very highly used from people. They have like 10 million or something like that, monthly active users, monthly active users. It's insane how many people are using it. A cursor, a write-in as well. And Pi, a write-in. Think that sasha needs to i think maybe grow with the industry here and that open code cursor pi uh kiro all of these things need to be in the survey because yeah i even pi has a decent usage It's it's nowhere near these other bad big boys like cloud code but open code is a major player and cursor is a major player it's a he's a he's a playa playa yeah and and maybe i think maybe Scott Tolinski That's part of maybe christmas problem is that people don't see it as a coding agent um they see it as a fork. And that's why Cursor has been pushing so hard on like moving away from their like their IDE into like their like agent interface, which absolutely everybody is doing. You know, you got your projects on the left. You got your chat in the middle. You know, the same samei everybody is building right now but i think that's that's part of their problem is people see them as only an ide when in reality it's like christmas is actually A pretty good deal and you still get access to you get access to all the models you get to try them all which is pretty cool yeah i've been personally wes uh what this is a good time for us to Wes Bos Talk about it while we're using. Yeah. Scott Tolinski What's your current usage of choice? You know mine is changing all the time. I'm probably 50-50 split between Claude and Cursor. Like Claude Code or Claude the app? No, Claude Code. And then the other split is probably cursor.

Transcript: Scott Tolinski And I find that that's one of my favorites as well. Wes Bos I've been using i've been using uh cloud code for like almost everything these days and and that's like in the past couple of weeks i've like really landed on cloud code to the point where I did cancel my uh chat gpt subscription i find codex to be just an absolute slog to work in and i know some people really like codex because it's like more uh exact uh yeah but i just i i just Did not like any of the results of the front end code it was writing ever yeah and like to me that was such a thing that i just was so annoyed with like it was hot potatoing data from function To function to function to function it was writing so much unnecessary code that I was just getting annoyed with it. And I don't have that same experience with Claude. And I feel like maybe my Claude code setup is a little bit better. And then I'll also dip into, I have a Copilot subscription. So I'll use Copilot in OpenCode now and in Pi i'll use yeah copilot models in both of those and i'll use pi if i want to have something just run on my system at large and i'm pretty much using Cloud code only on my like in my projects and then like if i want to say hey uh go to my nas and delete 100 files i going to do that in Pi. So just because I have access to those copilot models in Pi is pretty permissive on that kind of stuff. It's like where Cloud Code is going to be like, do you want me to read the file that you told me to read, please? Scott Tolinski Oh, man. Can I read it? I'm just like, shut up. I threw Cloud on my Synology. And like the one thing that I hate doing is updating Docker images. Same. Oh, I've got Jellyfin on a Docker image. And for some reason, every time I need to update that thing, I'm just like, oh, what do I do? And because there's data that's been mapped. Obviously, with Docker, you can map things. And you don't keep the files in the Docker image. You keep them on your file system, and you sort of map them there. But so many times I've accidentally nuked all of my library data, and I've had backups, but it's annoying. And now I just tell Cloud Code to update the thing, and it rips on it.

Transcript: Wes Bos And Sear is really super cool. But there's actually some other interesting code reveal tools from Sentry. I don't know if you've seen Warden, Wes. Have you seen Warden? Yes, I have. Warden is a new tool from Sentry that I think is really cool. Also, they got this sick landing page. Have you seen this thing? Yes. You click and a bug shows up and then a little laser comes and zaps the bug stinking cool i love this landing page oh my god this is great um and what this thing does is it uh it's a good tool To have in your stack that uh really is watching your code base for all kinds of things to fix it, to find issues automatically, whether that is code review, or security review, or dependency Review, test coverage, those types of things. And it will alert you in your GitHub actions. It is really pretty sick. The way I like to think about this is it's kind of being like hooks for finding issues in your code before you push them. If you were using something like Warden, it might find potential security holes before that you actually merged something. It's really pretty cool. Their little example up here is Warden finds a SQL injection from unsanitized input possibility and even gives you a suggested fix directly from your GitHub issues. Man, I this is a tool that I'm instantly going to add to all my stuff and not just because it's a century tool. And I work for century, but because this is the type of thing that I think we all be needing right now with the current security landscape. Scott Tolinski You know what is one that everybody needs to add is error handling. So often AI write code where it doesn't handle the error properly. Or it will simply just like put a label somewhere on there that something happened and just having like consistent proper error handling techniques so that obviously the error gets Sent off to sentry but you also show something to your user as to what happened or be able to handle it and the thing will fix itself in a lot of these cases that needs to be added to absolutely Every code base that people are doing because there's so many times you're just using an app and nothing happens or like something went wrong you know totally and in perfect tool for Wes Bos That is spotlight with all this cool stuff century's been shipping uh spotlight does exactly that it's basically like local century and you get access to um all the errors in your app Especially in development, not just in production. So as you're going, your AI is having access to all of the errors in a way that it actually has access to solve them and then can use the actual seer AI tools to assist in debugging and fixing. Are the types of things, again, that as we shove more and more AI code out, we need automated and better tools to find our bugs, solve them, and potentially alert us to security issues.

Transcript: Wes Bos So how are people actually using AI in their coding? 90% use it for uh code generation specifically 68 up from 8 before so a 60 increase use it for code review and assistance that makes no sense how the hell did that go from 1 to 68 maybe it was A write-in before maybe it was a write-in before yeah yeah uh 68 use it for learning and research 67 debugging and then you get into much smaller 37 use it for image generation and uh i don't Even see video generation on here so uh yeah so again wrong industry ([Time 0:35:04](https://share.snipd.com/snip/f54076e3-405a-4e40-96a2-6d6be2c367cc)) - **Reported Spend Underestimates Real AI Compute Costs** - Most respondents still pay little or nothing monthly for AI, but usage suggests hidden high compute costs. - Scott warns free tiers won't last and real usage can quickly balloon into thousands per month for heavy daily use. Transcript: Scott Tolinski Next one we have here is personal expenses. Like how much do you spend on AI tools every single month? 40% are saying $0. So there's quite a few people that are just getting by on the free trials. And I think they're hopping from one trial to another trial. I think probably those days are very limited. And I would probably say in the next six months or so that we're not going to have those free plans or even those cheap plans anymore. Like right now, what you're seeing is everybody is saying, F you, Cloud Code, I'm going to Codex where I can use it a lot longer. It's like, yeah, that's just because Code it's like a game of chicken right now it's like who can lose more money longer and if you think that like codex is gonna be like that forever they're Happily taking you over right now we're like hey come to us we'll give you better limits we won't we'll let you use it with other harnesses we'll let you do everything and people are coming To them but you think that's not gonna happen with open ai it's for sure gonna happen and the prices are gonna go up relatively soon yeah they are really just trying to get you to use it but Let's think of this 10 of people are spending between 100100 and $500. And then 0.6% of people are using more than $500. And I guarantee you, if you're using AI every single day, like the results of these are saying, you are using thousands of dollars a month on this type of stuff.

Transcript: Wes Bos Yes. I think let's take a look at local AI because local AI, often a conversation topic. 20% are not interested. 20% of people don't use it and are not interested. 31% of people don't use it but are interested. And then 49% of people are saying they use local AI. I think that is not accurate. There's no way that's accurate because look what are people running their own rigs their own gpus what are they running the crappiest models possible they aren't i don't think they Scott Tolinski Are i think people don't understand what local ai is i don't think so either uh yes like you can use yeah you can use olama and whatever but if you're using this to code maybe for background Images if it's slower but still good i i think if if you're worried about like people are using local ai if they're worried about either cost or privacy right and i think a lot of the cost People have have moved to kimmy deep seek a lot of these cheaper models. And I bet that's where we're going to see a lot of people go in the next six months as the real prices for these things start to come out. People are going to be figuring out how to get decent results out of these significantly cheaper models or the models that are, I don't know if they're cheaper because they've been made Like that, or they're just, again, being heavily subsidized to get people to hop over. And then the privacy people as well. I would love to have a rig on my desktop that I could just run all this stuff locally. Brother, yeah. But I don't think people realize how beefy of a system you need. And CJ has a video on it, right? You gotta have a pretty sick setup you get he spent thousands and thousands of dollars on on his rig and it's like it's it's good but it's like nowhere near what um the things that we're Wes Bos Used to using all these the clod and open ai models yeah i think that's the whole thing is you get used to the clod open ai ai models where you just type it in and it does its thing. You're going to have a rough transition. I think the benefit comes in from using these smaller models to do smaller tasks, and then really getting into the systems of it where, all right, this one is doing the to do list and this One is doing the prep and this is writing the ADR and this one is reviewing it. And then you have your big, beefy Frontier models doing the actual coding. But that is a lot of stinking work.

Transcript: Wes Bos Thing inside of ai risks which uh yeah i think that's a big a big point of i would say stress amongst, but I don't think we've truly seen the end results of this just yet. We hear about layoffs all the time, but I think companies who have done good hiring practice from the start, they're still hiring. I mean, like Sentry is still hiring all the time, and they haven't done any layoffs. It's like companies like that that are using AI heavily, still finding a way to make their employees effective with it. Military use of AI, 45%. Yeah. Environmental impact, 40%. Yes. Also concerning. Also concerning. AI slop takeover, very concerning. Negative cognitive impacts. Yes. Have you experienced any negative cognitive impacts from using AI? You might be entitled. Scott Tolinski Yeah. When's the class action of like, it ruined my brain. Yes, I know. Yes. Yes. Only 16% think rising AI costs are a problem. It's kind of interesting as well. But you also hear people's companies are simply mandating them. When we were at GitHub Universe last year, they announced the ability to track how much people are using. And right then and then, we're like, yeah, this is what people want their employees using this stuff to move faster and to be more productive. And you're seeing a lot of people who are just like, no, I don't want to use this. Partially because I don't trust it. I don't want my job to be replaced with it. And partially because they just don't, I think a lot of people don't want to want to learn how to use this effectively, right? I think there's a lot of people have simply just used the ChatGPT, typed into the box, had it spit out 18 pages worth of garbage, and they're like, that's not very good. And they don't see the actual benefit, you know? Like, give somebody who just is like a chat GPT casual listener, give them, like, show them how powerful, like, a clod agent can be. I think that they might be, may change their mind. Wes Bos Yes, I do think there is a tremendous gap there. Now, the highest thing that people say is a pain point is hallucinations and inaccuracies. Yeah, that's par for the course.

Transcript: Wes Bos The happiness of people who have been – people's happiness with AI has gone from 3.3 out of 5 to 3.4 out of 5. So people who have taken the survey are generally more happy with AI than they were ever so slightly than the year before, which tracks, I think, I mean, how could it not? The models have gotten better. The tools have gotten more mature. Everything's gotten a little bit better. I'm surprised the jump isn't a little bit higher. But again, 3.4 out of five is pretty high already in terms of what I would expect here from this survey. What I think would be more interesting than how much do you like AI, one through five, would be getting into the psychological stuff here, right? Like, I think about this all the time. And maybe I've been thinking, Wes, this would be a good episode toney on um to talk about psychology here how does coding with ai make you feel how stressed out are you with working when With ai i'm more stressed when working ai because i don't have as much control over it i'm like do the thing i want you to do uh how a lot more fragmented yes fragmented i would i would say Scott Tolinski Developers are probably less happy like you you can make a lot more things and like i certainly have this problem is that they i have a million ideas my brain is always buzzing and like Having a box that can actually make these put these things into reality that's that's a bit of a problem for me it's brutal for my mental health because i'm like yeah i'm feeling like oh Wes Bos I gotta keep this going what did i i installed a caffeine app on my computer so now i can shut it and have my agents run while i my computer shut oh that's not healthy that's not healthy at All here's another question though it's like is software getting better no i mean maybe it will but like who can use any single thing on their device and be like i'm just trying to think Scott Tolinski Like from like a user point of view of like stuff i use every single day like like there's certainly lots of like workflows in my life that are a lot better and easier of things that I use Every single day. My day to day things has that gotten better? You know, like my, I always love to talk about like FreshBooks. FreshBooks was this beautiful thing that I love to use. I sponsor the podcast for many years and I loved it. And of the last like five years, the quality has just gone downhill and there's been no features and nothing ever works. And then I'm just like looking at it being like, shouldn't this be way better? Given that we have this magical genie that you could just rub and it fixes all of our problems. Shouldn't it be better? Wes Bos Shouldn't it be better? It's something I ask myself all the dang time and it's not yeah like in in too many of these companies are just spending time just shoving ai into their product to make it worse i mean notion Oh my god notion is yeah nightmare to use sometimes so yeah i i don't know yeah i don't think things have gotten any better at least uh not from my perspective some things have some things Have gotten just perfectly but I think those are teams that always care and do care about craft. So I think it's, yeah, it's interesting. But yeah, I would love to see this survey include those types of things if we're getting into, you know, how do you feel about it? How does it make you feel? The opinion section of this is the last one. 72% of respondents now consider AI to be an integral part of their workflow. 72% of respondents. That is high, folks, for the people who are saying it's useless. 72%. Do you think 72% of people are being forced by their company? Because I know that we'll get comments being like well their companies are making them use 100% of the people leaving comments on this video yeah but like you're telling me that the 28% Scott Tolinski Of people don't find it as an integral part of the workflow I guess that that's fair yeah yeah I think I think like is that, like, maybe those people are, like, they're certainly using It, but maybe they don't find it that it's an absolute. Integral part. Integral part of their workflow. Integral. Integral being the key word here. Wes Bos Yes. Interesting. We hear a lot of talk about bubble. Many respondents think that we're currently in an AI bubble, but they also realize AI is here to stay even after it eventually pops. 37% agree with that. 33% strongly agree with that. Very small percentage of people disagree with that and strongly disagree with that. So, yeah, I think we're seeing some of that bubble in just terms of the cost that we've talked about, the cost exploding, and it's going to get more everything. Scott Tolinski What does it look like when the bubble pops, though? That's my question here. I certainly think everything is chaotic right now, and everybody's trying to figure out what it looks like. And there's a lot of money being thrown around. I certainly think we are in a bubble, but i don't think that like when that pops i don't think that we're going to go back to to what the way it was stone for this chiseling into rock yeah yeah Yeah i think it's just like the i think the way that we work has significantly been changed and there's i don't think there's any returning back to to where we were yeah the genie's uh out Of the bottle your Genie's out of the bottle. Wes Bos Yeah. Okay. So what are your thoughts here, Wes? Because I have some thoughts on the survey specifically. So here's what I would love to see. I want to know what you would want to see from the improvement of this survey overall. But I know Sasha, he's a great dude. Here's what I would love to see this survey uh improve on for the next one i i think it's missing a huge part of the actual ai landscape it's missing things like skills it's missing things Like mcp what are the most impactful ai features that people are actually using what are you actually using it's more than just model or agent there's what skills do you think are effective Scott Tolinski Do you think skills are more effective than mcp or do you think sub agents are you using swarms are you using like where do you run the code um yes how like are you monitoring it because like Are you just firing off several agents at once and not monitoring? Are you coming back to it? How are you kicking them off? Are you doing it from your phone? I think that this survey missed a lot of like, yeah, it's interesting that people are using OpenAI versus Claude and whatever.
