@cancel @neauoire aggressive incredulity won't change the fact that these tools are very useful and can indeed do things that we would have needed humans for. I personally used it to write:
- Mastodon API frontend
- Full fediverse server
- FPGA implementation of a Chip 8 interpreter
- Porting of an existing FPGA core to a different platform
- Web-based music player for an undocumented server system that the LLM reversed by reading the source code
- Find security issues in several existing server projects
- Implement paywalled functionality in open core projects
- Reverse engineer and implement a dos game without external information
- Expand test coverage and catch errors in existing tests in existing server projects
You can dismiss this all but then there's no question why someone "wouldn't get it", the reason is that you already know that it's useless.
