Everything from complex backend logic and processing to new user facing festivals, ops and infra tools, analytical apps, etc.

A lot of engineers now describe the problem, discuss the outline of the solution with the LLM, and then get it to write and test most of it ahead of their review. They tell me it usually takes the same approach they would anyway and even when it doesn’t, it’s often faster to explain what’s wrong and give the LLM another try.

Very little (and even then, only simple internal tools) gets written without a human owning the code and reviewing it thoroughly, but even with that overhead the productivity boost is impressive.
