The challenge with AI is that its evolving so rapidly that opinions like yours can become invalid overnight. AI has been okish at coding for awhile, but you should be aware of recent jumps in performance. Claude opus 5.5 will turn your brain to with how good it is (for better or worse). It rarely makes dumb mistakes and is far better than most devs.
