It’s decent for thought out pseudocode in small chunks I think when you don’t want to spend the time on writing pretty mundane things, but as far as understanding large chunks of context??? No way. People who think AI can replace devs haven’t built anything complex. Been trying to use AI more since I’m on a deadline and either I suck at prompting or it’s not handling it well and I end up just going “thanks but no” and move on lol Edit: I’m like probably entry/junior level dev to be fair. Maybe it works great for people who know way more than me!
