The problem I have is keeping up.
Current generation coding assistants are capable of doing things they could not do mere months ago, and are dramatically more capable than they were a year ago. I recently gave my coding assistant a task that was much larger than I usually trust my coding assistant with; and it produced a very large chunk of code that was remarkably well implemented. (And then rewrote about 2/3 of in order to add an innovative feature. But still).
As things stand at this particular moment, I am unsure of the upper limit of what I can trust this month's AI coding assistant with. Learning to use ones' tools properly is a big part of programming.
