Very useful if you know what you're doing and understand the code it writes. Dangerous in the wrong hands. It takes shortcuts that it shouldn't. Like using Math.random to generate a private key.

Yikes šŸ˜¬. If you were teaching somebody to code, how long would you make them wait before letting them use an AI?

Good question, as I use it more and more today I find myself also ā€œskipping overā€ some of the learning moments for the sake of time and efficiency. Which you could argue is high time preference behaviorā€¦

Part of me thinks make it immediate to get some early momentumā€¦ but another part of me thinks 6-9 months after they complete a beginner ā€”> intermediate curriculum.

Yeah I think at least a year of actual experience would be ideal. It does feel like high time preference behavior. Itā€™s so easy to become dependent on and it introduces subtle bugs if you arenā€™t super careful.
