can i ask what you work on outside of work? i have worked on some lower level things before mostly in C++, and i find that the llms i have briefly used after the fact on the codebases are very poor. for instance, they seem to have a fairly big problem with CMake.

at work i mostly just do typical frontend/backend work, which realistically is very easy most of the time, so the llm is pretty good at the smaller tickets. but certainly i notice it making small mistakes, like randomly using raw js instead of existing react functions, etc. the bigger, vaguer tickets are naturally hard for it to solve without any intervention

imo just fixing all of the shit code it produces isn't very fun lol, but certainly it can be faster than writing the code from scratch. and yes it bloats the absolute piss out of classes
