  I am very happy to see someone so highly respected state something that I often say. ~“We are all pretty much just AutoCorrect on steroids. “

  Code reviews - Shines Review code - Shines Finding bugs - Shines Suggesting coding patterns you want and suggest to LLM - Shines Explaining error messages - Shines Writing code from scratch - Mediocre Architecting a solution - Mediocre/Poor Understanding code or solutions it has no clue about - Poor Contextual multi-file or multi-domain code understanding - poor

    There's a contradiction in that list: proper code reviews require knowledge of the problem the code professes to solve. If AI is poor at context-dependent details, it can't shine at reviewing code.

      It doesn't say the AI is poor at context dependent details. Specifically it says multi-file context or context dependent on knowledge of multiple domains. There's not necessarily any contradiction here.

          It's not about one code file vs 2. It's about the amount of code that can fit into the context at any time.
