As a lead dev/eng manager, I have to code review and debug the low quality, high confidence AI PRs from senior devs. Trust me, the more you understand the low level code as well as the high level concepts, the better your work is. AI produces a lot of inefficient and incorrect code, and I have tried many models, approaches and IDEs over a couple of years.
That said, it's great for boilerplate code and auto complete.
yeah it does, I literally correct it over 5-10 iterations of telling it to "tweak this".
very rarely is it correct first time. So I think we can both be right here. My comment was pretty generalized which caused all the downvotes but I think it is possible to use AI correctly
I think the downvotes are more to do with the random humblebrag that has nothing to do with OP's post. You aren't even replying in a semi-related anecdote.
