AI makes tech debt more expensive

LLM code gen tools are really freaking good...at making the exact same react boilerplate app that everyone else has.

The moment you need to do something novel or complicated they choke up.

This is why I'm not very confident that tools like Vercel's v0 (https://v0.dev/) are useful for more than just playing around. It seems very impressive at first glance - but it's a mile wide and only an inch deep.

If can you can create boilerplate code, logging, documentation, common algorithms by AI it saves you a lot of time which you can use on your specialized stuff. I am convinced that you can make yourself x2 by using an AI. Just use it in the proper way.
