Definitely more helpful. But I would preface that with proper context building.

It isn’t enough (generally) to just tell it to do the thing. It is far better to to tell it to do a thing, and how, and provide rules, and provide examples, and provide the company’s best practices.

And I realize it takes a bit to get there, but I’m at a point that with enough context provisions, I can generate 10+ files of code for a net new feature that is 99%+ how I would do it in sub 5 minutes.

Do I tell Product that I still need another week? Absolutely.

Context is king.

It goes through two levels of review, we do not accept slop.

I feel like you must be prompting it poorly or using ChatGPT / Copilot?

I’d say in my day to day, AI tooling successfully tackles 90% of my software engineering jobs and with proper context and promoting the output is pretty stellar.

Unfortunately I can’t do much with just that.

Keep a gun close, add some cameras, but otherwise this person is probably just a POS troll.

If you can DM me their name and any other identifying info you have (general city, photos, phone number, email address, social links, etc.) I can maybe provide quite a bit of info on them. I will not say how.

But I would also ask what the end game is here?

Or we hunt them down
