    AI in engineering is an accelerator. If you are producing slop software, which most teams are, then it’s just going to accelerate the rate at which you can produce shitty software and bad code.

    If teams are producing high-quality software, then it accelerates those teams’ ability to deliver that quality.

      Yes, and most engineers effect on the product can be graded on [-1, 1] scale. And I find that the -1s accelerates faster.

      I had one of those. My seniors are getting dumber though, and we have twice as many prod bugs as a year ago. I had an outage because someone didn’t properly trim an input for fucks sake recently.
