As a software engineer, I get the appeal of LLM-assisted programming. You get this wonderful cross between a wise mentor, your own unpaid intern, and a trash can full of rabid raccoons

It won't replace humans but I'm finding Cursor is a major step up from Copilot. Idk about winapi but it does React quite well.
There's definitely an art to effective use - giving "big enough" problems step by step to get value w/o overextending, and knowing when it's your turn to edit/author code.
I'm still figuring out exactly where the line is in terms of how much do I let it do before I take a turn, vs how many parts of a complete solution do I expect it to write at once, and how specific do I have to be with my instructions.
There's definitely a subtle art to getting the most out of it.
