This is not my experience either. If you put the work in upfront to plan the feature, write the test cases, and then loop until they pass... you can build a lot of high quality software quickly. The difference between a junior engineer using it and a great architect using it is significant. I think of it as an amplifier.
- Mars008 7mo ago> The difference between a junior engineer using it and a great architect using it is significant Yes, juniors are trying to use AI with the minimum input. This alone tells a lot..
- bluefirebrand 7mo agoThis honestly reads to me like "if you spend a lot of time doing tedious monotonous shit you can save a lot of time on the interesting stuff" I have no interest being a "great architect" if architects don't actually build anything

- grey-area 7mo agoI’m amazed at how many great architects and experts on AI we now have.
