A lot depends on what you use them for. I don’t find them that great at large scale programming and they couldn’t do the hard parts of my work, but a lot of what I do doesn’t need to be “great.” There’s the core system design and delivering of features. That it struggles with. Anything large seems to be a struggle. But generating SQL for a report I do sporadically on demand from another team? Telling me what to debug to get Docker working (which I am rarely doing as a dev)? Anything Shell or Nginx related (again, infrequent, so I am a beginner in those areas) Generating infrequently run but tedious formatting helper functions? Generating tests? Basically, what would you give a dev with a year of experience? I would take ChatGPT/Copilot over me with 1 year of experience. The biggest benefit to me is all the offloaded non-core work. My job at least involves a lot more than writing big features (maybe yours does not).
