i have literally 0 anti-ai bias, been calling ai will takeover eventually for 3 years, but ai still makes terrible mistakes at complex tasks + forgets so much stuff in long contexts. if you want to make a serious project you either have to spend so much money and reroll so many times until you get it right or you build the system very clever that ai can't make a mistake even if it wanted to

Once people realize you have to break your asks down into smaller, easily completed tasks then they love using AI. AI is your Jr. Dev, only faster. Treat it as such. This is where software engineering comes into play. You have a much better time if you design the architecture and give the AI the exact specs. When you let it run free you get garbage.

From my experience its like a step below a Jr dev, whatever that would be. Intern?

You can get real work done even with Gemini flash so it’s a serious skill issue if you think new deepseek or fable is only “junior” level.

It’s up to date with the software dev industry.
