I am. I have Codex running, doing some tasks which I don't care much about, but anything I want to understand I write myself.
Same thing with hobby projects - I might ask ChatGPT or Gemini some questions about best practices in Swift for example, but writing code is done by hand.
As others said - if you don't use it, you'll lose it. And I'd rather keep my skills up to date.
- hirako2000 3mo agoYou have the privilege to keep yourself sharp, most businesses favor productivity over their workers' long term relevancy.
- dofm 3mo agoThis is the thing that makes me saddest. Second to the fact that none of the management tier promoting and weaponising this insanity will meaningfully suffer consequences. Right now I am lucky that I have the time to recover and learn.
- hirako2000 3mo agoNothing new under the sun though. It's the barista-brication of the tech field. No crafting skills, to make anyone replaceable. We saw it before AI. See ServiceNow university, teaching tailored abilities to run as technical consultant, for ServiceNow. That way good luck transitioning.
- Ronsenshi 3mo agoThat's just business owners and C-suite pocketing the difference while they fire staff and replacing it with AI. At some point somebody would have to start asking "business" some tough questions.
- hirako2000 3mo agoThey are firing artisans for cheaper labor who just use AI. They aren't replacing people with AI that's a fallacy.
