I’m a programmer with 22 years of experience. I understood the code well enough having written the solution myself the day before; I was precisely trying to see if AI would be useful with yhis example as it was a tad above basic stuff and not niche at all…

It failed miserably. The code ran but didn’t do anyithing at all or it did the wriong thing. It would often ignore my requirements in favour of something easier

The worst part is it kept saying it “got it” and telling me some bs about why it didn’t work just to not correct it

Thats why most senior software devs are not afraid of LLMs cause they need strong oversight and thats exactly what years of software dev experience trained you to do.

what’s the point of this? If it cannot provide glean code and I have to check every line myself, I rather work with a junior who would usualy do better, actualy learn from my feedback and eventually become an independant asset

Stop drinking the kool aid
