This could be interesting if it were a study, but it’s just an thinly disguised ad for your consultancy.


I use Copilot mostly with C++, and found that frequently it has problems with simple codebases also. Beside that it rarely suggests anything newer than cpp17, and very frequently it suggests C snippets...


I don’t know how this is in more established languages, but in my experience there is a big problem in conflating versions.

In Elixir, I constantly get code with API calls that conflate different versions. As amazed as I can be in some contexts, with fast moving libraries I get nowhere fast.

I’ve been wanting to try vibes based coding, but can hardly get off the ground.



"Cursor developers", sure. The joke has gone too far

Not even Java devs lacked that much agency to call themselves "Eclipse devs"

Nobody will know wtf a "cursor developer" means in 6 months

Not blaming anyone for following the hype and trying to make a buck out of it of course


Consultants are now grifting the AI grifters that love "vibe coding".

So that's what it has gotten to.
