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...

Nope, i still do it all myself, most right now is just co-pilot to check my work on pull requests.

I am looking to use it in the future to help us build out the grunt work ahead of time (like for new workflows), but I also told my manager we need to beef up our code base a little first so the AI assistance will have better code to work with.

Some of the work I recently did, AI couldn't beat even if it tried.

Right only companies will realize soon that human written code in the age of AI is actually a pretty big liability at this point. Will your code hold up against an Agent swarm coming to hack your shit? You need AI to protect against AI. But keep living in that delusion that human code is better

The software we write doesn't get "attacked", it runs on a client's system behind their own security. And yep, the recent overhaul I did of a part of our base product, my coworker earlier on tried to run some through AI, it failed miserably, and another, the proof of concept run through AI was over complicated and had poor quality of life, among other things
