I have this 300 line Go application which manages git tags for me. I asked it to implement a -dry-run function. It failed twice. First time it just mangled the file. Second time it just made code that didn't do anything.

I asked it to rename a global variable. It broke the application and failed to understand scoping rules.

Perhaps it is bad luck, or perhaps my Go code is weird, but I don't understand how y'all wanna trust this.

Like another commenter I also use it for initial exploration in uncharted territory. For coding only helpful with autocompleting error strings. Even then, it messes with normal auto-complete, might get rid of it.
