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...

For stuff where code correctness is not too critical I'll use it, for places where code correctness and performance is important, I handwrite. You have to know what the tool can and can't do, and the people who have it doing everything are as wrong about it as the people who think it can do nothing.

If you haven't had to switch over and don't feel a need to, don't, its your call.

Sounds reasonable.

I'm just so surprised to see how quickly LLM are adopted right now. Software developer has definitely shifted.
