I find it really hit and miss. Easy, standard operations are fine but if you have an issue with code you wrote and ask it to fix it, you can forget it

I've found Claude 3.7 and 4.0 and sometimes Gemini variants still leagues better than ChatGPT/Copilot.

Still not perfect, but night and day difference.

I feel like ChatGPT didn't focus on coding and instead focused on mainstream, but I am not an expert.

Gemini will get basic C++, probably the best documented language for beginners out there, right about half of the time.

I think that might even be the problem, honestly, a bunch of new coders post bad code and it's fixed in comments but the LLM CAN'T realize that.

I like tab coding, writing small blocks of code that it thinks I need. Its On point almost all the time. This speeds me up.

Bingo. If anything what you're finding is the people bitching are the same people that if given a bike wouldn't know how to ride it, which is fair. Some people understand quicker how to use the tools they are given.

Edit - a poor carpenter blames his tools.

It's the ideal help for people who shouldn't be employed as programmers to start with.

I had to explain hexadecimal to somebody the other day. It's honestly depressing.
