This tracks pretty much with my conclusions for myself, neat.
It's crazy, I'm fooled every time again and think “surely I must be faster like this” when after a few days an in-depth reflection/looking at actual commits shows that nope, I wasn't.
Same. I only use it to write boilerplate now. When it is basically copy pasting from docs, it's faster at it than me.
Every time I try it to write more complex code, I end up redoing major parts of it.
The main reason why I still think it’s faster even if it’s “slower”: it does its work in the background while I can do other things, like respond to emails, attend meetings, look at other bits of code, etc. I turn on the audio notification to have to ping me when it’s done.
Same here. It's been trained on so much of that kind of code, you have a much better chance of getting useable code on the first prompt.
