Looks like we're finally reaching the end of the hype phase of AI coding tools. My experience is that reasoning models like R1, are able to produce useful code fairly consistently now, but they're not a replacement for a human. They're a tool a human can use to speed up their workflow.

Now for the valley of productivity...
I'd guess we've seen 5% or less of the value these tools can bring even without more breakthroughs in the enabling technologies.
What aspect of it do you think users are deficient in that they’re missing 95% of its potential? Prompt engineering?
@underisk
The IDE integration is clunky... The languages haven't started to adapt themselves to be more amiable to AI driven development... There are certainly interfaces which haven't been explored or if they have been explored haven't 'clicked'...
Just some proposals, it's normal for a _lot_ of value to be discovered after the hype calms down a bit.
