I have written a small fullstack app over the holidays, mostly with LLMs, to see how far would they get me. Turns out, they can easily write 90% of the code, but you still need to review everything, make the main architectural decisions and debug stuff when AI cant solve the bug after 2-3 iterations. I get a huge productivity boost and at the same time am not afraid that they will replace me. At least not yet. Can't recommend aider enough. I've tried many different coding tools, but they all seem like a leaky abstraction over LLMs medium of sequential text generation. Aider, on the other hand, leans into it in the best possible way.
