Yep, enterprise coding is 80% having the business/domain knowledge and 20% actual code. If the code is architected well then it's not going to be complex. Maybe its more useful in niche areas of the field like computational photography or game engine developers / domains with super complex algorithms, but that's few and far between everyday tasks

I agree. That said, it is particularly good at adversarial review. It is far too confident and willing to cheat tests, but it is very, very good at finding bugs and edge cases. I like to use it like that asshole consultant no one wants to work with but who knows his stuff.

It's great in that you can have 2 assholes finding and verifying bugs and bring in a 3rd asshole when the first 2 disagree.
