In the thread “Ask HN: What is your average acceptance rate for code suggestions from an agent?”

Helped: Pulling out one tiny idea from garbage suggestions for reference.

Got in the way: Low acceptance rate and accepted suggestions not necessarily used.

… Of course, just because it was an accepted suggestion doesn’t mean it was used. I will sometimes accept a garbage suggestion for my needs, just for a reference so I can pull out one tiny idea.
