I agree - the problem is it’s hard to see how people who say they’re using it effectively actually are using it, what they’re outputting, and making any sort of comparison on quality or maintainability or coherence.

In the same way, it’s hard to see how people who say they’re struggling are actually using it.

There’s truth somewhere in between “it’s the answer to everything” and “skill issue”. We know it’s overhyped. We know that it’s still useful to some extent, in many domains.

Well summarized.

We're also seeing that the people up top are using this to cull the herd.
