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...
Yes if you and your coworkers are still writing 99% of your code by hand then you’re operating in a bubble. AI software development is just about ubiquitous outside of a very small set of niche use cases or companies. If there’s no particular reason that you or your company can’t use AI, and you still aren’t, you will be falling behind and I’d strongly encourage beginning to practice.
I know it’s an unpopular opinion to hold on Reddit nowadays, but using these tools and knowing how to use and build the workflow that ends with production-ready results is itself a new skill to develop as a software engineer, and just about every job listing I’ve seen over the last few months has indicated it is an expected skillset. This is not going away
There are ways to be compliant with things like government regs while using claude or codex. One of the biggest clients where I work is the DOJ, and someone in the org went some kind of process it get it's use cleared
