By “good” I mean code that is written professionally and concisely (and obviously works as intended). Apart from personal interest and understanding what the machine spits out, is there any legit reason anyone should learn advanced coding techniques? Specifically in an engineering perspective?

If not, learning how to write code seems a tad trivial now.

    I use it to write code, but I know how to write code and it probably turns a week of work for me into a day or two. It’s cool, but not automagic.

      I find it better at things under 100 lines. Otherwise it starts to lose context. Any ideas how to address this?

        Ask it to make a function, then do some other function, then make them work together etc. Making it write a lot in one go won’t work. It’s more pair programming than having it write for you.
