You should really try it. I’ve been coding professionally since 2000, and some 10+ years before that as a kid with a hobby. The AI takes away quite a bit of tedious stuff. When you think “I’ll just have to code out that annoying little dumb piece”, where it is obvious what you need, but boring to write it, the AI typically knows what you want. Sometimes it is really mind-warping, like wow, that’s pretty heavy context you dragged in there! And sometimes it comes with a little left field that you hadn’t thought of, and even if it didn’t nail it, you got a new idea.

It’s like having an over-eager coworker to pair-program with - and can kinda boss around as you please, it never tiring or needing a break. Not senior-level (outside of knowing “deep” small pieces and snippets), but not fresh out of school either.

And it is great for fleshing out comments (if you’re into that, as I am), picking up your style and notation as you go.
