What kind of work do you do? Every time I read stuff like this, I find it hard to believe, but maybe the code/languages/frameworks I'm using just aren't as easy for LLMs as what other people are using. The results I've had trying to get it to write C++ have been atrocious.
I'm not against AI code assistance, and I like keeping an open mind. For the moment though, the only success I've had is with using it to explain some feature or API faster than manually looking up the documentation. But actually reading the docs, I've found, helps me remember things better.
API/Data Engineering for SAAS products. No one will die if I do something dumb - it’ll just cost money and/or reputation if things go very bad.
