To be completely fair, there are some things I did have success with getting code generated. For example, I made a little python script to pull fields out of TOML files and converted them to CSV (so that I could import the data into a spreadsheet). It did mostly ok on this (in that I didn’t have to edit the final code that much and it was in fact faster than writing it all myself).
But the cases where I find its code was good enough are 1) fairly easy tasks (ie I don’t need AI to do it, but it still saved some time), and 2) not that common for the type of development I’ve been mostly doing. The problem is that I’ve often wasted significant time to figure out whether or not it’s one of these tasks, so in the long run it just doesn’t feel that useful to me as a “write code for me” tool. But as I said, I do find AI a useful aid, just not to write my code for me.
