Working with someone else’s code is always slower. As a mostly solo developer, I’m curious if a tool like this could speed me up vs writing code myself and using code I’ve written in the past. I think even in with a small team, specific devs can have complete ownership over different chunks of code.

Having AI write a chunk of your codebase may be kinda like having someone else write it, but then leave the project. Plenty of companies work like this, but they move much slower. Anyways I’m sure tools like this will have a market, but I’m not sure they make sense to be adopted by the fastest moving companies

Agreed, we shall see! I empathize with what you are saying, because personally I am very slow to understand other people's code.

But, because Second builds commodity features, everything is so vanilla that it's actually pretty easy to understand. No weird anti-patterns or anything.
