I'm in this camp... today.
But there's going to be an inflection point - soon - as things continue to improve. The industry is going to change rapidly.
Now is the time to either get ready for that - by being ahead of the curve, at least by being familiar with the tooling - or switch careers and cede your job to somebody who will play ball.
I don't like any of this, but I see it as inevitable.
How is it inevitable when they are running out of text to train on and running out of funding at the same time?
You just said they worked one comment ago and now you agree that they don't?
I'm in the same camp in that I don't use them because they don't work well enough for my own tastes. But I know what I'm doing, and I'm picky.
Clearly they do work in a general sense. People who don't want to code are making things that work this way right now!
This isn't yet replacing me, but I'm certain it will relatively soon be the standard for how software is developed.
Maybe there's going to be an inflection point ... or maybe not, I feel like we're at the exact same point as the first release of Cursor in 2023.
