A year ago I would had a similar opinion as the author but in the last 3-4 months specifically, it feels like AI based tools made a huge leap.
I’ve seen this claim made basically weekly for the last couple of years, if we’re having “generational leaps” monthly then these LLMs would actually be capable of doing what people claim they can.
It’s just my experience as someone who was pretty much forced to use AI for coding by my employer for the last few years. For the longest time it was completely useless. And then it suddenly wasn’t. I’m sure you’ll keep hearing this kind of story though, because people have different requirements and AI assisted coding or even agents don’t have to start working for everybody at the same time.
