Sound Familiar?
You're not alone. These are the top challenges developers face with AI today.
ChatGPT vs Claude vs Copilot?
Spending more time choosing AI tools than actually coding. Which one is worth the $20/month?
Copy-Paste Code Hell
AI gives you code that works in isolation but breaks when integrated into your actual codebase.
TODO App Tutorials Forever
Every AI demo builds a todo app. Where are the techniques for real enterprise codebases?
Still Debugging 80% of the Time
AI promises 10x productivity but you're still stuck in the same debugging loops as 2019.
