I’ve been in the business for 15 years and for me writing code was never my favorite part of the job. I enjoy seeing results. I can write about 3-5 different programming langauges fairly competently, but I can compredend amd critique many more. We are in the middle of a migration from Blazor (which MS seems to have semi-abandoned) to React and the LLM is really helping to fill some gaps in my typescript knowledge. It’s also really good at conversions which, in my opinion, are especially boring because after all that hard work you end up with the same functionality.

Do not trust that what it’s doing is idiomatic at all, whatsoever. You should learn the language yourself before you let some bleep bloop tell you how it works. Huge red flag. I’m a TypeScript developer since the last 8 years, hit me up if you need help getting started!
We have experienced TS devs in our company. They layed the foundations for the conversion and help during code reviews. I agree that the LLM are not to be trusted, but they are good at following examples. So it’s going well so far
Edit: I hope I’m making clear that we are not vibe coding. Human ownership is important. But for me it’s a useful tool that speeds up development.
