I’m not just repeating it. That is my first hand judgment of their abilities.
I am a professional software developer, and I have been told by way too many people that these models are amazing at writing code, and yet every time I’ve seen the code they write, it has been unimpressive at best and absolute dog shit at worst. I was writing better code as a college sophomore.
It makes sense though. They’re trained on everyone’s code, and the vast majority of code available for them to steal is absolute dog shit.
The developers who look at their code and don’t see any problems are developers who themselves write dog shit code.
You’re just objectively wrong. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you can see their raw objective scores across numerous software engineering metrics.
I’m a programmer that’s been in the business for decades. That doesn’t make me any more correct than you. I have seen it write some impressive things at impressive speeds. If you haven’t that’s fine. You just haven’t seen it work then. But it doesn’t matter what I have seen or what you’ve seen. What matters are data, and the data are clear when it comes to ability.
Not ability per unit water consumed, dollar spent, or per unit power consumed, but ability nevertheless.
It does write code that usually works, but it makes absolutely rookie mistakes that are like worse than junior engineer level. If that impresses you, then so be it, but in my 28 years of writing code, I’ve never been less impressed by something with as much hype as AI agents have.

Ok lol
