Disagree. Coding--I've heard enough bad things I'm not interested in trying it. However, I recently ran into a use case where it's good: drawing illustrations for articles. Thus you can't say it never works.
It depends on the coding domain, but you're basically saying you've never tried it but you're certain Mitchell Hashimoto, Salvatore Sanfilippo, Armin Ronacher or Simon Willison, all supremely accomplished coders, must be misguided when they explain how it's made even them more productive.
