Indeed, one of my favourite things about coding assistants is that I can now get an easy code review on my personal projects, or once I've thought through my approach have it think up alternatives I may not have stumbled on.

I've found it very unsatisfactory (both experience and results) to use them to replace code production. But in terms of augmenting the process - used to critique, explore alternatives, surface information - they're getting really quite handy.
