This seems like more time and trouble than just writing the code yourself.
(And while the same could often be said of assigning tasks to junior programmers, in that case it is an investment in the person rather than strictly a waste.)
I swear, I wholeheartedly agree. By the time I get even something slightly like what I want I could have wrote it myself so I ended up saving zero time; there are instances where I actually save time, but it’s about tedious and simple tasks (I had to search a K-tree) or to refactor certain parts that are more or less the same. All the other times either the code sucks so much I end up writing the whole thing myself, or i know the steps myself so what’s the point of detailing a prompt that will require my intervention instead of just writing the code? Line completion is the other good thing about this wave of AI at least
