As someone more specialized on test and UX, it saves me a lot of stackoverflow searching, which is nice, but I really have to sort of inch forward and constantly test because it occasionally breaks stuff or generates wrong solutions. The more time I spend writing the scenarios and tests, beforehand, the better the coding part is. The resulting code is better than what I usually write, but there's lots of room for patterns, tighter algorithms, and other architectural improvements.
Someone specialized on coding, probably feels that way about tests.
TL;DR -- It can leverage your current talent stack and even out your weaknesses, but a specialist would get better results. Since nobody is a specialist in everything, it's good that we at #GitCitadel can cross-pollinate the same codebase. Leverage upon leverage.
I'm now more convinced than ever, that this is going to have a bigger impact in making programmers faster and better, than in making them obsolete.
