  • I agree Copilot is trash and everything it generates is garbage. I have no clue how anyone uses it with any effectiveness. But I’ve had luck with Claude 3.7 in some aspects of code.

    Still seems to falter heavily with anything CSS though.

    What’s nice is, say I have to create 10 data processing scripts that are somewhat similar but not exactly similar, I can create one and then hand the task to AI to iterate on and verify for the other 9 while I work on something else. It’s a major time saver in that regard.

    I still don’t think it replaces a developer, but for senior-level and above, when deployed wisely, I think it can reduce tediousness.




  • I was in the same boat about…3mos ago. But recent tooling is kind of making me rethink things. And to be honest I’m kind of surprised. I’m fairly anti-AI.

    Is it perfect? Fuck no. But with the right prompts and gates, I’m genuinely surprised. Yes, I still have to tweak, but we’re talking entire features being 80% stubbed in sub 1 minute. More if I want it to test and iterate.

    My major concern is the people doing this and not reviewing the code and shipping it. Because it definitely needs massaging…ESPECIALLY for security reasons.
