    I use AI to write code for work every day. Many different models and services, including https://ollama.ai on my own hardware. It’s useful for a developer when they can take the code and refactor it to fit into large code-bases (after fixing its inevitable broken code here and there), but it is by no means anywhere close to actually successfully writing code all on its own. Eventually maybe, but nowhere near anytime soon.

      Agreed. I mainly use it for learning.

      Instead of googling and skimming a couple blogs / so posts, I now just ask the AI. It pulls the exact info I need and sources it all. And being able to ask follow up questions is great.

      It’s great for learning new languages and frameworks

      It’s also very good at writing unit tests.

      Also for recommending Frameworks/software for your use case.

      I don’t see it replacing developers, more reducing the number of developers needed. Like excel did for office workers.
