I've not yet been in a position where reading + cleaning up the LLMs bad code was faster and/or produced better code than if I wrote it by hand. I've tried. Every time someone comes up and says "yeah of course you're not using GPT4.7-turbo-plus-pro" I go and give a spin on the newfangled thing. Nope, hasn't happened yet.
I admit my line of work may not be exactly generic crud work, but then again if it's not useful for anything just one step above implementing a user login for a website or something, then is it really gonna take over the world and put me out of a job in 6 months?
Same for me. My last try was with claude code on a fairly new and simple Angular 19 side project. Spew garbage code using the old angular stuff (without signals). Failed to reuse the code that was already here so needed refactor. The features I asked for were simple, so I clearly lost my time prompting + reading + refactoring the result. So I spent the credits and never used it again.
So your inability to prompt, hint, provide context, setup guard rails for the ai to do what you want, is the fault of ai? Sorry to say you don’t know what you’re doing. This isn’t the fault of ai. This is your inability to learn.
Do you mean that for a dead simple frontend feature I had to provide context beyond my entire codebase, proper cherry picked angular 19 docs, lengthy explanations about what I want ?
Yeah no thanks I'll just take that time and code the feature myself, while you're still pulling out your hairs on "crafting" the perfect pRoMpT
