I think it's great at simple technical questions, like "how do I do x in python". Hallucinations isn't really a problem since I am about to check if the solution works anyway.
- bandrami 3y agoThat's why I'm less apocalyptic about it than most people I read. The people who can realistically use it to write software are the same people who can currently write software.
- cm2187 3y agoThough a lot more people can read software than can write software. All kids are exposed to programming at school these days. They may not get proficient enough to write code or a query but will probably be able to read and adapt code.
- rsynnott 3y ago> Though a lot more people can read software than can write software. Huh? As someone who's been doing both for a couple of decades, I'd have said the opposite, really. All programmers, more or less by definition, can write software. Bad programmers, however, often can't read it.
- spideymans 3y agoYup. Senior engineers spend a lot more time reading software, than writing software. Juniors spend more time writing than reading.

- rmilejczz 3y agoIt definitely helps me write more and better software
