Yep. I write code almost entirely with a. I now for my OWN projects.
The amount of iteration and editing it requires almost requires a new specialty dev called "A. I developer support. ".
It's honestly kinda awful. I've been trying to use it a bit to help speed up some of my projects at work, and it's a crapshoot how well it helps. Some days I can give it the function I'm writing with an explanation of purpose and error output and it helps me fix it in 5 minutes. Other days I spend an hour endlessly iterating through asinine replies that get me no where (like when I tried to use it to help figure out a bit very well documented API, had it correct me and use a different method/endpoint until it gave up and went back to my way that didn't even work! I ended up just hacking together a workaround that got it done in the most annoying way possible, but it accomplished the task so WTFE)
A nice "trick": After 4 or so responses where you can't get anywhere, start a new chat without the wrong context. Of course refine your question with whatever you have found out in the previous chat.
