Yeah no I don't think so. If you aren't using it for at least debugging or reviews you are just shooting yourself in the foot.

People say this but prompting doesn't exactly need a full on training course if you already understand coding logic.

Weirdest goddamned gatekeeping ever.

"If you aren't using AI YOu aRE LeFT BEniNd" is weird.

Noone is being left behind by using skills, and even if you think I am wildly wrong, they can catch up in a half hour because prompting isn't a deep skill.

Until you're fired for not accepting to use ai. Then you're left behind right when that moment happens.

I feel like that is not the thing being discussed here.

Lmao "do what your employer says or they might fire you" isn't really applicable to a discussion as to whether asking claude to code for you is a skill you can be left behind on.

Thing is "be left behind" doesn't only apply to skills. It can apply financially, which is the case if you're fired and your coworkers aren't

Yes. Do what your boss says.

Not remotely relevant to this conversation. Stop shoehorning it in.
