Co"worker" spent 7 weeks building a simple C# MVC app with ChatGPT

I think I don't have to tell you how it went. Lets just say I spent more time debugging "his" code than mine.

I do enjoy the new assistant in JetBrains tools, the one that runs locally. It truly helps with the trite shit 90% of the time. Every time I tried code gen AI for larger parts, it's been unusable.

Except in the 10% of times, in 30% of those you'll have a hell of a lot of fun finding which exact line has one little variable name mismatch. But if you're actually very careful, it's a nice feature.
