My experience with this tech is you’re not nearly as able to solve problems because you didn’t actually write the code. So now you need to be better at reading code you didn’t write. The models can’t do a number of common programming tasks, but they are indeed super useful.

This tech currently just makes each engineer more efficient. There’s an infinite space of problems to solve. I guess we’ll must be digging through that space faster and wider from now on.

This is about making a quick buck with throwaway products and deceive customers into thinking this product has any future.

Besides, any sufficiently complex field has a lot of business rules that you can't derive from screenshots.

The level of delusion regarding AI makes me want to completely ignore anything that touches it and come back in 10-20 years when people learned something.

Maybe OP meant "all CRUD TODO-like SaaS is toasted".

I recommend trying it out. Just don’t drink the Kool-aid.
