It's going to depend heavily on what you're doing. If you're doing common tasks in popular languages, and not using cutting edge library features, the tools are pretty good at automating a large amount of the code production. Just make sure the context/instruction file (i.e. claude.md) and codebase are set up to properly constrict the bot and you can get away with a lot.If you're not doing tasks that are statistically common in the training data however you're not going to have a great experience. That being said, very little in software is "novel" anymore so you might be surprised.

We used to caution people not to copy and paste from StackOverflow without understanding the code snippets, now we have people generating "vibe code" from nothing using AI, never reading it once and pushing it to master?
It feels like an insane fever dream
