Many languages/companies have existing well understood
solutions that _won't_ have errors.
I admit: I chose poor examples in my above post.
In a literal sense it has been years since I wrote a tree or list traversal by hand and I would be very surprised and concerned to see a PR where somebody is doing it by hand rather than using a library.
But, I hope my meaning comes through despite that. I mean the sort of mundane "iterate through a thing, and do a thing with some of the things" sort of code that many/most of us are writing on a regular, hour-to-hour basis.
Maybe that is the disconnect?
Maybe! Another disconnect might be the level of polyglot one is expected to be.
I'm generally a "full stack" web developer (currently switching between Python and Ruby on the backend) and I don't mind admitting: front end crap changes fast enough that I can't possibly keep up with it. In my experience nobody is expert in the whole stack. Altogether it's just a really big surface area of Shit I Need To Know. AI is very welcome here for me.
Other coders might have a smaller surface area of shit they need to know, and they already know it inside and out, and therefore see no real value add from an AI buddy who is not correct and optimal 100% of the time.
