It had me replacing outdated        AT> statements with other outdated statements only to tell me later "These        AT> statements are outdated." (waste of time)              That's pretty much what I was seeing. It's OK for something like "using my       code base, write a simple program to count the widgets" and it would do it       pretty well. But I could still do it faster because I wouldn't have had to       review the resulting code.               AT> But Claude's Sonnet 4.5 showed me the newest JS techniques, explained        AT> the differences, helped me implement them, and I haven't had any issues        AT> with my project.              That's what ESR was saying on X. AIs to a really good job of "reading the       manuals and explaining things".              So my main use today is not having AI write my code, but having it explain XXX       for me to see how I could use XXX in my code.               AT> I haven't used it for any actual programming (C++, etc) yet but I bet        AT> that it will kick ass at that too. Surely it could teach kids better or        AT> even run a school better than George's unerlings.              That's not saying much. Schools aren't for learning anything today. Unless       you count "how to be a ignorant leftoid" as "learning".                     ...
