Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises
Zectivi@piefed.social 3 days agoWhere I work, my skip-levels have started debating on whether they want to consider if an engineer uses AI as a factor for reviews, pay raises and incentives, and are tracking who uses it by way of licenses.
It's a bit ridiculous IMO because they're essentially saying "we don't care if slop makes it into the code base, so long as you are using AI, you will remain gainfully employed."

I’ve seen a lot of stupid shit over my career but this AI zealotry just takes the cake.
Everyone is so convinced these tools will make software get made faster, but I’m not even convinced that it gives even a modest benefit. For me personally they definitely don’t, and it seems to lead junior devs horribly astray as often as it helps speed them up.
It feels like I’m not even looking at the same reality as everyone else at this point.

I wish I had one like you at where I work, just to keep sane for a bit longer. Everyone else is just way too into this shit even though for most it seems like a gigantic time sink.
