#3I'm interested but skeptical. I have not dived as deeply as you. Mostly I'm using ChatGPT. There is just no way it could generate 90% of my code. It is great at generating boilerplate for simple cases. I find it most useful for getting started on this I know nothing about. Like I was working with SVG recently, something I know nothing about. But is have to say chatgpt was helpful, but not, in the long run useful. Too many errors and its ability to refine answers is terrible.
Too many attempts correction are met with cheerful fixes which have the same bugs.
Is anyone else actually getting good results for code generation using LLMs?

Depends what you are coding

#5Up to...."Up to" If you are writing a bash wrapper to move some files or something yeah.... Great

I have not had good results and stopped trying. I have had some usable results, but on careful inspection there were subtle problems or needless convolutions that implied a different solution was being used than was actually the case. The sort of thing that works but is prone to misinterpretation by the next one working in the code.
Based on this I'm very against using it for things the user doesn't have significant knowledge of. Some coworkers seem to be having better success but I definitely get the sense they are reading and editing the results carefully. I don't find it that much if any of a productivity gain so I stopped trying for now.

Are you using the paid gpt-4? It is a world of difference of improvement over the free tier.
Like the author I am now writing 80% + of my code in chatgpt. Every now and then something pops up that it doesn't quite understand and I have to pick up my shovel and head back into the mines, but mostly with good prompting in chat gpt and preceding everything I write in my ide with a comment explaining what I'm doing copilot can do the rest.
It's a great tool in the way that google search once was, and programming IDEs are. But it takes some time to feel it out and see where it's useful and where it isn't, similar to learning how to google search and feeling out the opaque functionality in an ide.
At an AWS event last week there was a quote 'jobs aren't going to be replaced by ai. But people doing jobs without ai will be replaced by people with ai'.

#9I think about 90% of my code is “generated”.
Thing is, that’s only the actual, written code. Theres still a bunch of hard work that goes into figuring out what to generate and verifying that it’s correct
