reddit may not have the best reputation, but the comments there are on point! So far much better than what has been posted here by HN users on this topic/thread. Anyway, I hope this is good fodder to show the limits (and they are much narrower than hype-driven AI enthusiasts like to pretend) of AI coding and to be more honest with yourself and others about it.

> reddit may not have the best reputation

reddit is a distillation of the entire internet on to one site with wildly variable quality of discussion depending upon which subreddit you are in.

Some are awful, some are great.

  • And yet the low quality of the front page is an indictment of the site as a whole.

    It's just that some internet extremophiles have managed to eke out a pleasant existence.
