Not discounting your claim, but the fact that you work at a company (Sourcegraph) whose business is literally AI coding / coding assistants calls your objectivity somewhat into question.

I will agree that they're very useful for boilerplate tasks particularly around deployment (cloudformation, github actions, etc.)

Def don't take my word at face value. I'm just sharing my experience and knowledge, but the great thing about most of these tools is that many offer usable free tiers or very low-cost plans that don't require any sort of lock in. So try the tools yourself, for your use cases, and see if it's a fit or not.

Personally, I have seen a ton of change in the last 4-5 months, so if you haven't tried these tools recently, I encourage you to try them today and see what's possible.
