Helped: Complex tasks and heavy data manipulation where output is less wrong.

Got in the way: Developers who do not delve into or understand the generated code.

… And since it's way, way less wrong than sonnet4, it might also improve my whole team velocity. I won't lie, AI coding has been a net negative for the 'lazy devs' on my team who don't delves into their own generated code (by 'lazy devs' here I mean the subset of devs who do the work but often don't bother to truly understand the logic behind what they used/did. They are very good coworkers, add velue and are not really lazy, but I don't see another term for that).
