AI coding tools aren't equally effective across all software domains or languages. They're going to be the "best" (relative to their own ability distribution) in the "fat middle" of software engineering where they have the most training data. Popular tasks in popular languages and popular libraries (web dev in React, for example). You're probably out of luck if your task is writing netcode for a game engine, for instance.


I am a web dev in React, though

My experience is in one of the areas that people are saying it is most helpful

Which really just adds to the gaslighting effect
