You'll never find a programming language that frees you from the burden of clarifying your ideas.

Even if we reach the point where it's as good as a good senior dev. We will still have to explain what we want it to do.

That's how I find it most helpful too. I give it a task and work out the spec based on the bad assumptions it makes and manually fix it.
