    It’s like handing a job to the new guy.

    I use it for snippets. Always double check though and always need to remind it of methods that will and will not work. Often it’s just inspiration or for doing lengthy subquery style stuff that takes ages to type out. But even then, 10 mins of battling it when I didn’t want to take 5 mins to just manually do it is sadly common.

    I do like asking it to optimise and it can’t find anything that could be better, though. We’re friends then.

      Boilerplates, or solutions to really weird one off problems that require a bunch of synthesis across different, unfamiliar domains (ie, as a web dev, how do I install imagemagick on an internal, stripped down rootless RHEL container with microdnf)

        Yeah, or implementing well-defined single functions that would otherwise just be a hassle. I’ll just stub out the function signature and tell it to finish the rest.
