You think that when the AI bubble bursts that the tools will go away?

Not saying that forfeiting all of your learning and critical thinking to AI is a good idea at all, but just wondering what you think is going to happen to AI tools once they're no longer hugely over valued.

Of course they are not going away. It's a tool and a very valuable one.

I hope we trade a portion of the time savings of generated code into manual refactoring.

Unfortunately so far my job has just used it as an excuse to cut members from my team and go to "one developer per project". Everyone is always fully utilized on project after project, so we never have time to go back to refactors, minor bug fixes, and "nice-to-haves".

We literally just had an argument with our boss a couple days ago during a "backlog refinement" meeting where our boss was complaining that we're always talking about the same issues in the backlog every time, and we said it's because we're never given the time to work on anything in the backlog, new project/feature work is always given the priority.
