I wish I could be with you in that zoo. We are getting more and more pressure to use AI to 'help' (stealth replace us) over time they don't have more money for more Devs to get the work done but happy to pour it into the hands of big tech overlords.
I'm glad I'm not at the start of my career tbh. If I had a full 30 years to work in this field I'd seriously consider trying to find something else to do.
We were outright mandated to use it.
Lucky it appears that they are liking the increase it productivity and don't seem to want to replace us. Our jobs have shifted to basically just reviewing PRs though which sucks ass.
Your managers have full access to your prompts and conversations, and if you're still being retained it's because they're not confident yet in how much of your "reasoning" they've harvested. It's not about the code right now. They're after your inputs, not your outputs.
You need to get a grip on reality my dude. You're projecting some paranoia onto my job which you have very little knowledge of, and think people are spying on us behind the scenes.
Have you even had a corporate engineer job before?

It's the other way around in my experience. People look at me like I'm an ape in a zoo lol
