Definitely!

1. Many companies are hiring "AI" engineers. My guess is 90% of these jobs are virtue signaling to investors and those positions will go to folks that are good at appearing competent in interviews. Yay! More overpaid incompetent colleagues, just what we need.

2. My editor saves me about 2 minutes a day with smart printf/loop/variable completions (JetBrains editors -- no sarcasm, i like this!)

3. I am wasting time responding to email from PMs suggesting that "we don't have engineering capacity to do XYZ, but maybe we can use an AI to do it???"

(I am not anti-GenAI -- I've used it to create flyers and do pretty cool stuff!)
