I'm so curious around what people's median experience is of AI coding tools.
I've tried agents every now and then, recently for something very simple- add an option to request csb format in a data api.
The results were, well, not good. . . I ended up undoing literally all changes because writing from scratch was a lot easier than trying to refactor the total mess it has made from what I'd have thought was a trivial feature.
I haven't done loads of prompt engineering etc, in all honesty it seems a lot of work when I haven't seen promise yet in the tool.
I see articles like this, and I always wonder, am I the outlier or is the writer? My experience of agentic AI is so hugely different to what some people are finding.
