I've been diving into a (new language to me) Swift codebase over the last week and AI has been incredibly helpful in answering my questions and speeding up my learning But meaningfully contributing to a complex project without the skills? Not a chance I'd put my name on the contributions it makes. I know how many mistakes these tools make in the languages I know well - it also makes them in the ones I don't. Only now I can't review its output

Yeah, I don’t understand how people feel confident with that at all. Whenever I dive into a programming language I don’t know, I realize the amount of stuff I need to get used to before I feel confident reviewing code in it. Also supposedly language barriers are smaller than ever, yet WhatsApp is killing its desktop app on Windows in favor of using the Web-based version.
