I largely agree, but I don't think the current experience is the right one. I recently started writing a game in Godot. I don't know GodotScript, and I've found I don't like it very much in trying to learn. I turned to aider.chat to see if I could describe the functions, data structures, and systems I wanted and have it write them. I also tried writing in a more familiar language (...one with braces...) and having it translate those files. It does pretty well, but it doesn't feel like software engineering. It's too hands-off and doesn't activate the same neurons. All the problem-solving and puzzle-solving is gone, and the successes are quite boring, and the failure modes are more irritating even if they're necessarily quicker to solve. It's a weird experience. I'm moving so, so much faster than I would have on my own, but I don't enjoy it. It feels like cheating - I'm not actually ashamed of what I'm doing but I also won't take credit for writing the code. However, what I'm getting at is this: If I could write the code in a syntax or even language that I prefer and have copilot or whatever translate it in near-real-time (without active prompting), that would be the best of both worlds. I'd still be a little sad at myself if I didn't learn the new language, but I also think this method would facilitate learning better than what I'm doing with aider (because I could see what my code turns into as I'm writing it, and learn that "translation").
