The place I work seems to be open to the fact that its not an all seeing, all knowing force in the world. Though we do use it as a quicker search engine. I've heard of companies that are shoehorning it into everything, I feel this is many companies just playing the game to get better valuations.
Also I can't imagine how being handed a bunch of autogenerated terraform and ansible code would help me. Maybe 10% of my time is spent actually writing the code, the rest is running it (ansible is slow), troubleshooting incidents, discussing how to solve them & how to implement new stuff, etc.
If someone works in a devops position where AI is more of a threat, I'd like to hear more about it.
We recently got Claude Code and there is a very strong push to use it. I recently did for the first time. Spent 15 minutes writing a long prompt to implement a ticket. A repeated pattern of code, 5 classes + config per topic that deeply interact with each other and it did the job perfectly. It convinced me that the current code monkey jobs, which are >90%, >95%? of software engineering jobs, will disappear within 10…

> We‘ll only need senior/staff/architect level code reviewers and prompt engineers. And what will you do when all the seniors retire and there's no juniors to take their place because they were replaced by AI?
Just like nowadays assembler is only a side note, C is only taught in specialized classes (OS, graphics) and most things are taught in high level languages.

In college, newcomers will start with the basics of high level languages and then spend the rest of the time learning prompting. Just like nowadays assembler is only a side note, C is only taught in specialized classes (OS, graphics) and most things are taught in high level languages.

Will all its consequences for software correctness and security. Man, I wish i was born in the neolithic.
The development and project teams I primarily work with are all encouraged to identify suitable use cases for GenAI. Most development teams have already started trials with AI assisted coding but reported a relatively low adoption rate of 5–10%.
