I mean, I didn't say it was completely useless, just that it's not making code any better. There's definitely use cases for it. Rapid, throw-away prototyping

I mean, I didn't say it was completely useless, just that it's not making code any better. There's definitely use cases for it. Rapid, throw-away prototyping may end up being one of them. (Though I am skeptical about that, given how often the prototype ends up being the finished product, but that's neither here nor there.) If your main goal is the _short-term_ result, sure, it's delivering. In the longer term though, I still believe it to be dangerous.
