    Yeah, this almost exactly sums up my experience as the sole senior engineer in one team.

    It’s great at looking like it did it all correctly… But just like ai art, enough is similar, but wrong, that the code ends up in uncanny valley.

    Sometimes it saves me a few seconds of rewriting the properties/arguments in the correct format for a new function/component. Other times it does such a “convincing” job, but does it wrong, that I spend many minutes trying to debug why the thing that looks correct doesn’t work.

    The “good parts” mostly feel like glorified copy paste and linting. While the “bad parts” feel like you’re debugging someone code who doesn’t know what they’re doing and glued a bunch of stack overflow answers together assuming it’d just work.
