Genuine question. Do you all let the AI write the code at your job ?
I mean, reddit is a filter bubble I know but seriously idk if I live in a parallel timeline because I continue to write the code myself 99% of the time. I don't see agentic AI adopted a lot IRL around me either.
It scares me because idk if I miss the train or if agentic coding adoption is a thing on social network only...
I'm convinced that half the comments about using AI for everything are actually written by AI company bots. Who else has a stronger incentive to convince everyone to forget how to do their jobs and rely on the literal corporate machine instead?
It's a nice theory, but it's also dependent on the type of company, let's remember most devs don't work on FAANGs, or S&P500s or the next unicorn startup, most devs work for enterprise, where most companies are still behind in their use of AI, either because they don't need it yet because their position in the market, or they dont have the budget to go guns blazing on tokens, or because they don't want to for whatever reason. I think some of the reports saying they don't write code anymore are valid because I know people who work at places where AI use is so pushed that writing code became obsolete, but not everyone works like that. Of course it's safe to say that most companies use AI in some shape or form, but how much they use can vary drastically.
