Expertise in software is about understanding the problem domain, understanding the constraints imposed by the hardware, understanding how to translate business logic to code. None of these are significantly helped by AI code assistance, as they currently exist. The AI only helps with the coding part, usually helping generate boilerplate tailored to your code. That may help 1.1x your productivity, but nowhere near 10x.



I'm surprised you haven't been able to leverage the AI for the analysis of a problem domain and constraints in order to engineer a novel solution. This is generally what I use it for, and not actual code generation.
