I am very much in the 1st group. AI tools except for Co-Pilot are banned, but I use ChatGPT and Gemini a ton. AI lets me do an entire sprint of work in 1-2 days and still get in an extra ticket. I demolish the metrics of other team members while clearly working far less than they do.

So I do my tickets for the sprint,and then go travel for a week or two. Literally, I will be doing standup with my camera off at dinner in Athens or just before going up the Effiel Tower (team is based in North America) and I will push work I have been sitting on whenever I get back to my Airbnb.

reminds me of the classic post: https://workplace.stackexchange.com/questions/93696/is-it-un...

OOC Do you use ChatGPT/Gemini via the chat interfaces, pasting context and design and then copying out?

Thanks!

Largely.

On my team for my jobs, most things are now microservices, so the entire codebase can go into the context and I can just send it the Jira ticket with some clarifications and ask what needs to be done. Follow up question is a test.
