I’ll preface this by saying I’m not trying to sound like a tech bro. I’m really trying to give a level and measured response.
Over the past year, AI coding has gotten very good. It can catch weird mistakes that are not obvious. But it can also just totally miss obvious things and get caught up in shit that doesn’t matter. The best way to describe it is like an extremely eager and very smart junior developer. They get easily distracted. They get easily caught up in edge cases that don’t matter. That can easily miss extremely critical things.
The biggest thing is that it’s fast.
We’ll see how cheap it is long term when companies need to be profitable and run out of investors to convince.
