There are still significant limitations, no amount of prompting will get current models to approach abstraction and architecture the way a person does. But I'm finding that these Gemini models are finally able to replace searches and stackoverflow for a lot of my day-to-day programming.
I find this sentiment increasingly worrisome. It's entirely clear that every last human will be beaten on code design in the upcoming years (I am not going to argue if it's 1 or 5 years away, who cares?)
I wished people would just stop holding on to what amounts to nothing, and think and talk more about what can be done in a new world. We need good ideas and I think this could be a place to advance them.
In what world is this statement remotely true.
If someone were to claim: no computer will ever be able to beat humans in code design, would you agree with that? If the answer is "no", then there's your proof.
If you define "human" to be "average competent person in the field" then absolutely I will agree with it.
