Aider is python. That is annoying for me as I like to modify things. This is typescript.

Wait, are you saying that, because you know Typescript but not Python, you can't make modifications on a software intended to develop for you using AI?

Auto-coders, which is what I call this tech, are great but they screw up complex tasks, so you need to be able to step in when they are screwing one up. I view it as a team of junior devs.
This will probably change at some point, but they require supervision this point and corrections.
If you do not actually know what you are doing, these things can create a mess. But that is just the next challenge to overcome and I suspect we'll get there relatively soon.
