Doesn’t have to replace an SWE. 10x-ing the ability of 1 engineer is a good enough win. Soon that will be 20-100x.

Feels odd to dismiss such a huge breakthrough by saying it’s still not as good as the pinnacle of AI (general AI). Just because the Apple 2 wasn’t a home super computer, didn’t make it less revolutionary.

True but it's not thinking. It's not smart it's a tool for programers to be more productive. Right now it has more possibilities than real results. We'll have to see.

The biggest issue to me is that you can't trust the results. You always have to double check the them. I know it's mainly beta but I need to see more to get a better judgement.

The car is still useful even if you're the one driving it and responsible for selecting where to go and how to get there.

How is it at present 10x’ing any engineers, and how is it going to 20-100x them? Legitimate question, because my understanding of these tools is they, at present, generate something that you have to entirely vet and have a limited mental model of.
