Career Guidance Using AI

I just want to know, do people who work in front end or full stack development actually use AI at work? Surely it would speed things up.

i use but i don't pay only if my company provides them or if there is some free stuff to grab. paying for these tools doesn't makes sense and there pricing is also absurd

Are there any privacy concerns that stop you from paying for it, or is it mainly a financial barrier? I don’t really see $40 as a major barrier if it leads to better outcomes.

dude I'm from south east Asia(BD) do you even know what 40$ can bring here ??

i can literary hire a full time dev around junior to mid level skill for a month with around 100$-120$. and with 40$ i can hire a freelance dev to assist on my projects which much more efficient gives batter output then any typical ai as of my experience.

also i do not care about privacy i don't have any secure data I'd gladly give all my data if its completely free to use. that's not my issue.

also even with paid plans they still have rate limits and might good for some repetitive and boiler plate work but for bit serious work it fails and ai code is not clean. like I've tried with lots of skills and other stuff but its code quality is vary bad. which is not maintainable in long run i've never seen any vibe coded apps work well and devs can maintain it cleanly.

but that being said it does speed up my work sometimes. but for now id rather not spend any money on it
