Just ask it to rewrite the shitty code you wrote in a language you barely understand to “follow standard best practices in <language>” or something like that and it will add advanced typing features, functional programming for iterables, advanced exception handling, proper concurrency handling, optimize control flows, use better equivalent functions, etc.
As long as you understand the foundations of these concepts in at least one language anybody can become pretty close to an expert in most languages instantly. Especially since most of them are C based and pretty similar
The output will sometimes change the logic but I mean that’s pretty easy to catch and fix
Rip C++ nerds that memorize the entirety of each releases manual to shave off 3ms in every single function
It won’t kill off the need for skill, but a lot of lazy “coders” will stop even learning a minimal amount, and get by on no skill at all. Until they get fired, too.
Nothing the LLM generates can be relied on, it’s a gibberish machine.
agree with OP but its more than a gibberish machine for most modern implementations. copilot agent mode is good
