How widely is AI adopted in the wider IT industry anyways? I imagine $200 per month subscription isn't that popular with people refusing to pay for their IDEs and going with free alternatives instead. And month worth of free tier of AI agent can be spent in two intense evenings.
So who pays for AIs for developers? Mostly corpos. And the speed of individual developer was never a limiting factor in corpos. Average corporate development was always 10 times slower than indie. So even doubling it won't make any impression.
I don't know if I'm faster with AI at a specific task, but I know that I'm doing things I wouldn't touch because I hate the tedium. And I'm doing them while cooking and eating dinner and thinking about wider context and next things to come. So for me it feels worth it.
I think it might be something like with cars and safety. Any car safety improvements are going to be offset by the drivers driving faster and more recklessly. So maybe any speed improvements that AI might make for the project is nullified by developers doing things they would just skip without it.
