>After five or six cycles it does become a bit fatiguing. Use the tool sanely.

That's increasingly not possible. This is the first time for me in 20 years where I've had a programming tool rammed down my throat.

There's a crisis of software developer autonomy and it's actually hurting software productivity. We're making worse software, slower because the C levels have bought this fairy tale that you can replace 5 development resource with 1 development resource + some tokens.



That lucky?

In 18 years AI is the third or 4th tool forced upon a shop/team, I will say of those it is the forst one that is genuinely able to make me more productive overall, even with the drawbacks.
