> So, the reality is that AI opens up new possible workflows. They aren't always appropriate. Sometimes the process of writing the code yourself and iterating on it is important to helping you build your mental model of a piece of functionality. But a lot of the time, there's no mystery in what I want to write. And in these cases, AI is brilliant at speeding up design and implementation.

I agree but I have a hunch we're all gonna be pushed by higher ups to use AI always and for everything. Headcounts will drop, the amount of work will rise and deadlines will become ever so tight. What the resulting codebases would look like years from now will be interesting.

Yeah, I am grateful that I work with a lot of other engineers and managers who care a lot about quality. If you have a manager who just cares about speed, the corner cutting that AI enables could become a nightmare.
