As a counter to this, I had grok build an entire set of micro services and all I had to clean up was some format strings. It blew me away. Did in an hour what should have taken a week.
Exactly. "uncommented academic modeling code from Matlab" is something very few people ever do, and the importance of that work is negligible in isolation. Meanwhile, "run of the mill micro services" are like most of what the software industry is doing these days; in aggregate, it's also how the industry delivers most of its value and how it makes most of its money.
I use cursor, and if there’s a nice interface for cursor to use grok I don’t know about it. Which leads to pain if I try to have the built in options try to fix things because they’re nowhere near as competent currently.
