    One nit: they’re good at writing code. Specifically, code that has already been written. Software Engineers and Computer Scientists still need to exist for technology to evolve.

      This. Was setting up a new service and it scaffolded all the endpoints after the swagger and helped me setup tooling, tests, within a few hours. Also helped me research what has happened in the area since my last ms.

      Now when adding the business logic I’ll be doing most of it myself as it tends to be a bit creative about what I’m trying to achieve and tends to forget to check my models etc.

      It’s great at generic code, has issues on specifics.
