These comments are insane. I wonder if any of these people are actual software devs who have genuinely tried using a modern coding agent. Yes, there are issues with datacenters, investment bubble, circular financing, AI being used for discrimination and weaponry, etc. but those are problems of capitalism -- the tech itself is actually useful.

It's useful. It's useful enough that justify the economy, climate, actual living places, etc 's cost?

I don't think so honestly.

I have used an agent to try some test projects (this was about a year ago). I found that while the code did work for the most part, the agent overall produced code that was overly complex for what the initial brief asked of it. And that complexity made the code difficult to extend with even simple features.

I don't use one anymore because I figured that, for my job, maintainability is critical and I don't mind that the code takes me overall longer to write if it is well planned out and extendable.

Edit: I still would not use op's code since 1. It's not something I need, and 2. I don't trust it.

Actually useful in accelerating all this.
