alt Hacker NewsBlog posts like this would really benefit from specific examples. While I can get some mileage out of these tools for greenfield projects, I'm actually shocked that this has proven useful with projects of any substantial size or complexity. I'm very curious to understand the context where such tools are paying off.

Makes sense. I work for a growth stage startup and most of these apply to our internal mono repo so hard to share specifics. We use this for both new and legacy code each with their own unique AI coding challenges.
If theres enough interest, I might replicate some examples in an open source project.

It seems to be relative to skill level. If you're less-experienced, you're letting these things write most if not all of your code. If you're more experienced, that's inverted (you write most of the code and let the AI safely pepper things in).
