This is how i currently utilise and view The AI tools. I replaced the googling in my flow with it. It might have taken me 20minutes before to get the boilerplate together, now its a minute. Depending on the type of code legacy overheads you have, results may vary. If you can break your problem down into small descrete bits.

The way the OP here was talking about sonnet being above way above chatgtp in this case, it could be true. Google probably has the largest Go codebases on search to train the AI on higher quiality inputs. Go is a simpler language with less variation over time compared to something like .net also adding to its corner.

ive always been the type of person to use the right language for the each use case. For the last 10+ years ive primarly been building cross platform apps that target every common OS. So these "ai" tools like phind.com give me a universal API interface and generate code which is equiv to a SO answer. They are the ability of an outsourced junior dev who you would never let push code to prod, that doesnt have the language barrier but retains the fake dergee overheads ;)
