- bluefirebrand 1y agoNot unless it is deterministic If I have to manually review the boilerplate after it generates then I may as well just write it myself. AI is not improving this unless you just blindly trust it without review, AND YOU SHOULDN'T
- dmezzetti 1y agoI'm not sure many seasoned developers are really using AI that much in their workflows.
- bluefirebrand 1y agoIf they aren't I wish they would speak up more and push back against management more If there's a secret, silent majority of seasoned devs who are just quietly trying to weather this, I wish they would speak up But I guess just getting those paycheques is too comfy
- dmezzetti 1y agoSoftware managers have long pushed "productivity" tools on developers. Most don't stick and this is likely similar. It's best to hire smart people and let them use whatever stack works best for them.
