reddit may not have the best reputation, but the comments there are on point! So far much better than what has been posted here by HN users on this topic/thread. Anyway, I hope this is good fodder to show the limits (and they are much narrower than hype-driven AI enthusiasts like to pretend) of AI coding and to be more honest with yourself and others about it.

> reddit may not have the best reputation

reddit is a distillation of the entire internet on to one site with wildly variable quality of discussion depending upon which subreddit you are in.

Some are awful, some are great.

And yet the low quality of the front page is an indictment of the site as a whole.

It's just that some internet extremophiles have managed to eke out a pleasant existence.
