I find that the perception of AI coding is very bimodal, and both camps have it wrong. You have the one camp who will only trust it to, at most, write a few lines of code. The other camp prompts, walks always, and pushes (or just has the AI do it).

I believe both camps it frustratingly wrong. If you haven't yet given it a chance at doing something substantial, then at least _try_ it once. On the other side of the coin, that first experience where it does something 80% right is intoxicating, but AI doesn't reason and can't get it 100% right - it can't even multiply relatively small numbers.

The former camp is going to get left behind and won't be able to compete, the latter camp is one prompt away from a disaster.
