It manages simple functions but Ive tried to get it to do complex ones (e.g. a parser with a bunch of edge cases) and it totally shit the bed. For the simpler cases I think prompting still took about as long as just writing the damn thing myself if I was familiar with the language. The coding I have found it useful for is small, self contained, well defined scripts in bash where the tedious part is reminding myself of all of the command switches and the funky syntax.
