What has been the experience with using these tools for folks on HN.
I'm generally amazed at the JS stuff it can come up with from scratch, but asking it to implement features is often not quite great.
Far more often it can't even use the damn edit tool given to the LLM! I have to take some of the "excrement" left behind; may be do a git reset; and then carefully fix the code.
I'm not surprised the managerial class has gotten high on the kool-aid of replacing workers...
My experience has been poor. My last attempt was with copilot. I gave it the structure of a psql table and a DTO and asked it to create java code to write to the dB using a prepared statement. It failed and the errors were hard to spot. Not sure if it saved time. That was 4o.
