I have, and it's not amazing. I'm pretty sure a lot of people have and agree with me. Why ask an LLMs when I can just open an API reference and have all the answers in a dense and succint format that gives me what I need?
Let's say I'm writing and Eloquent query (Laravel's ORM) and I forgot the signature for the where method. It's like 5 seconds to find the page and have the answer (less if I'm using Dash.app). It would take me longer to write a prompt for that. And I have to hope the model got it right.
For bigger use cases, a lot of times I already know the code, the reason I haven't written it yet is I'm thinking how it would impact the whole project architecture. Once I have a good feel, writing the code is a nice break from all of those thinking sessions. Like driving on a scenic route. Yeah you could have an AI drive you there, but not when you're worrying it taking the wrong turn at every intersection.
