Same here. I use Claude Code everyday, very useful, but nowhere near to where I don't have to jump in and fix very simple stuff. I actually have a bug in an app that I don't fix because I use it as a test for LLM's and so far not one could solve it, it's a CSS bug!

I use Cursor daily, I have worked on Agents using LangChain. Maybe we are doing something wrong but even ysing SOTA models unless we explicitly give which mcp tool to call, it uses anything - sometimes - while other times it can do a passavle job. So now our mandate is to spell everything out to LLM so it doesn't add a non existent column like created at or updated at to our queries

I've used every SOTA for day to day work, and at best they save some effort. They can't do everything yet

Precisely, I always find myself thinking that maybe I'm just too dumb to use these LLM's properly, but that would defeat the purpose of them being useful haha.

And I keep reading people who heap praises at AI like the Staff engg at Google who weirdly praised a competitor LLM. They miss one important part - AI is good for end to end problems that are already solved. Asking it to write a load balancer will result in a perfect solution because it has access to very well written load balancers already.

The real MOAT is to write something custom and this is where it struggles sometimes.
