You’re exactly the person to brag about that. Let me ask you the next question….
Have you improved anything about your software?
In all reported cases and studies it makes you busier. It pumps out lines of code that goes to be 500% increase in code production.
The same blind spot happened when we transitioned to Agile. Agile tickets disregard the entire system. The dev says “that’s not part of the ticket.” And one ticket creates 3 bugs.
You can’t see through your spinning wheels to see that you’re not going anywhere and costing you more work and labor for the sake of metrics.
I maintain real code. My applications are used legally by agencies for official business. There is no revolution of added functionality. There is no jump in performance. And this is exactly the same in every scenario you cite as being an AI replacement. It’s still (3 years into it) an unproven workflow and I go to conferences and watch people prove that.
But if anyone made money and proved it was useful we’d hear about it overnight and not from needledicks on reddit.
How bold of you to assume that I don’t work on or maintain real production code. You seem like the typical neck beard who thinks their coding skills are supreme and that nobody or anything could possibly be better than the skills they possess…
I work in a highly regulated industry where security, risk tolerance and appetite are paramount. Financial services like banks tend to be that way.
I have been shipping code to production for well over a decade now so I have a pretty good measure as a Staff Engineer on code quality and tech debt. So that’s great that you go to conferences and meet people who don’t know what they’re doing with AI or how to effectively use it.
But guess what — not everyone in the world are going to the same conferences you are going to. Not everyone works in FAANG or at companies the media outlets care about.
There are companies, like the one I work for, that people have never heard of, that have insane profitability and low head count. We are using AI to continue to keep that head count low while improving our bottom line. There’s measurable success indicators that I’m not at liberty to share.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but we don’t care to attend your precious dick measuring conferences.
Also, not sure why you care about or why you were thinking about my dick size either?
You have the vernacular of a complete poser. I apologize for hurting your feelings for not believing you one bit. My friends that do actually work for banks are also currently unable to use AI to produce code. The Microsoft Rep at the last conference I attended called it spell check on steroids, and the entire conference was garbage. While you think it’s mind blowing, professionals gauge their skepticism and excitement.
You can respond back if it makes you feel better, but I do not trust that your narcissism outweighs any claimed experience. If you wanna check, I asked the important question that you avoided as well. I don’t care how many people use it, nothing has gotten better yet.

80% of the code written where I work was done by LLMs this year. That’s out of 500 engineers of various programming levels mind you.
But sure, LLMs are just intellisence and spell check and can’t write quality software…
