Whats the improvement here? I spend more time fixing it then doing it myself anyways. And I have less confidence in the code Opus generates
this sort of developer in a pair programming exercise would find themselves flustered at how a junior approached problem solving and just fix it themselves. i strongly suspect the loss of a feeling of control is at play here.
It's great for suggesting approaches, but the code it generates looks like it doesn't actually have understanding (which is correct).
I can't trust what it writes, and if I have to go through it all with a fine toothed comb, I may as well write the code myself.
So my conclusion is that it's a very powerful research tool, and an atrocious junior developer who has dyslexia and issues with memory.
