No offense but have you considered the strong possibility that you’re just not good at what you do? I am occassionally pleased but mostly annoyed or disappointed… but never getting anything close to chills. That sounds downright weird.

You're not wrong. But programming isn't something only talented people do.
Really? That doesn't line up with this forum.
As a non-software engineer reading this forum it sounds like everyone is basically von Neumann working on Operator algebras and Lattice theory.
I assumed that is why the view of LLMs is so negative on here. While Claude seems kind of amazing to me I am not a genius working on Lattice theory like most people here.
Another strong possibility is that you might be working on something that’s not very prevanlent in the training set.
Even the choice of programming language matters, e.g. Java or Javascript vs some niche one.
No offense but have you considered the strong possibility that you're just holding it wrong? You're entitled to your opinion, but OP is hardly the first person to say something like this and is surrounded by tons of folks saying the exact same thing. Just because it sounds weird to you, doesn't mean it's not true.
Everyone saying it is in the "not as good as they think they are" camp is the very obvious explanation.
Idk, all the great programmers I've come to respect are of the opinion that the code it outputs, while often useful, is not high quality. Likewise, all of the influencers and "thought leaders" I have seen on social media who I did not have a high opinion of previous to 2022, have all become AI influencers and make these kinds of claims. So while it's possible that the great programmers are not capable of using this tool effectively, I doubt that is the case, seeing as the mythical 10x productivity improvements have not materialised.
The tech has raised the floor not the ceiling.
Whether the latter happens remains to be seen.
That sounds accurate.
Or rather, they raised the perceived floor. IDK if we're seeing better output, but at least the illusion of output is stronger.
There are also differences in usage patterns, and differences in the quality of thinking. Not all programming revolves around Western open source
Well, I guess it's just a difference of opinion on who's right
By definition, 50% of developers are below average, so there are indeed "tons of folks" who are not very good at what they do.
That is not how averages work. By definition of mean, perhaps.
That is how a median is defined, not the mean.
Indeed. Most people have more arms than average, which must be 1.9 something.
"no offense..."
... then says offensive thing.
