My point about my experience with this plugin isn’t that it’s a throwaway or meaningless project. My point is that it might be enough in some cases to verify output without verifying code. Another example: I had to import tens of thousands of records of relational data. I got AI to write the code for the import. All I verified was that the data was imported correctly. I didn’t even look at the code.




In this context I meant throwaway as "low stakes" not "meaningless". Again, evaluating the output of a database import like that could be existensial for your company given the context. Not to mention there's many cases where evaluating the output isn't feasible for a human.
