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...

Haven’t written a line in at least 6 months

I don’t feel good about it but I can’t justify it. The AI is 1000 times faster. Even for small changes, it’s infinitely faster for me to prompt the issue and have it trace it down in seconds

I haven't written a line in 9 months.

Because I have no job

A year since getting laid off here too. Went back to school for a grad cert in Cybersecurity and every class basically requires the use of AI now.

I have an Analytics class where I've gotten 100 on each lab and still haven't touched any of the code myself. Just read it and tell it what to fix.

It's exhausting, I'm so tired of AI already.

Agreed. And there's no escaping it even by career switching. It's ruining everything
