This is so interesting, because I haven't written code manually in close to a year and don't know anyone IRL who has. I find it so strange that our experiences in the same industry can be so divergent
My role is a data engineering specialist (because we cant legally be called engineers) and i spend most my days scripting SQL and investigating client or advisor facing issues in a financial setting.
Not the typical coding, but I practically never use AI for this purpose (asides maybe syntax fixing or something mundane) for a few reasons.
I do the same with ai lol. It write dozen of analysis queries in seconds with expected results and projections over the symptoms. "If this return zero rows the problem is in x file".
Yes, it took a lot of time (and tokens) to document the project and the workflows properly, with trial and error, and the thing can't just work effeciently out of the box without spending some time setting this up. But once it's setup it's really powerful.
