It sure can, esp good at simpler things like ui, and popular frameworks etc. The only issue is when there's breaking changes between upgrades, like maybe the framework is at 9.0 but the model was trained on 7.0, so there's some things that don't work just right.

So far it's created some pretty amazing tailwindcss layouts for me, and a flutter app to interface with chatGPT that I want to add more features like saving, sharing, etc.. In 3 hours with zero flutter experience I can now at least do as much as the website does. That's pretty amazing.

Edit: YMMV -- imho you do need to be mid-senior level in tech/programming skills to know and find the best prompts to get it to go your way, there's some trial and error and your ide will usually let you know about errors/etc and you can ask them to fix it and gpt does a good job of correcting things.
