Last month, there has been a billing-related incident at work: it has been detected that the GCP bill had increased vastly since early 2026

The related team investigated, found nothing; They escalated to other teams, found nothing; Gemini, claude and whatnot were involved, found nothing;

Somebody raised to topic to me, solution has been found

See my point ? Like GP, I do not use AI. If there is only one person thinking left, being that person does not looks like a bad idea;

Mixing code and "productivity" is trying to remake coder as bluecollars, and most of them probably are (not thinking, replaceable cogs that are overpaid and shall be decommissionned), they will not be missing. The only coder's output is its idea, everything else is a mean to that end.
