I don't have this experience. Watching and course correcting like this makes me realize I could have done a better job myself

That’s always true in my experience, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need to. The trick I’m working towards is refining the workflow such that i can reliably produce maybe 90% as “good” as what I’d personally produce but much, much faster. All sorts of side work I was avoiding before also becomes much easier, less tedious refactors and large test coverage and etc. It can type much faster than I can, the trick is if we can constrain the thinking enough to make it useful. Keeping it as an autocomplete is as productive as it is difficult imo.
