If you're building a React app using a popular UI framework, AI will seem like magic at how well it one-shots things.
To the author's point about one-shotting. I think it will be a real challenge pushing an AI coding workflow forward because of this problem. In my experience, AI seems to fall off a cliff when you ask it to write code using more obscure libraries and frameworks. It will always hallucinate something rather than admitting it has no knowledge of how something works.
I've had better success with things like o3 with search, because it can actually go and read docs to help fix problems. It helped me dig through matrix specs, proposals and PRs and while the first suggestion didn't work (I thought it would have done) it ended up finding proof that only part of that got merged and found how to enable the experimental side that allowed the other. The iteration of searching and going through things was incredibly helpful. Probably saved me a good few hours or meant I was able to do this at all.
