These tools don't behave like assistants though, despite being advertised as being assistants
They turn you into the assistant instead of the programmer in the driver seat
Whenever you use them, you have to shift "code review mode", which is not the role of the primary programmer on a task, it is the role of a secondary programmer doing a PR
It's "a lot of value" if you like being the assistant to a very inconsistent junior programmer
