> it’s honestly not much worse than a junior dev and 100x faster. And if the code is bad you throw it away and try again 10 seconds later. The amount of speed up I see as a very experienced dev is astronomical

Personally, I find that waiting for the code to generate, then reviewing the code carefully, then deciding if I need to rewrite it to be more painful, more error prone, and much slower than writing the code correctly.

Especially since this AI junior never learn from it’s mistakes.

I think it speaks to different approaches to how individuals write code.

I would bet that it’s about the same (not great code, generally), but the tools fail to generate responses less often and likely would have more context.

Hopefully they become fast enough to run offline or at least feel more instantaneous.
