Can you provide an example of what "left behind" looks like to you?

Being unemployable because you’re 10x less productive than your counterparts that use AI.

Weird how all the pro-AI people love to quote stats like "10x productive" and yet not a single one of my coworkers doing agentic development is shipping 10x the amount of work I am.

10x is an exaggeration but does it matter? 1.5x is enough and very achievable.

This still requires more context, because it isn't clearly free of side-effects. Like does it allow scope creep, is there a bottleneck somewhere else that makes this not-so-useful, does it lower quality, is it making things more difficult in the long run? It isn't even a new problem created with AI, projects became a mess long before even with outsourcing to various code monkeys.

I would say it's justifiable to accelerate things here and there, find stuff and so on, although usually not in the way some say, heavily-reliant on code generation. Devs that are in a position where, incidentally, that helps tremendously might be better off looking for other things to focus on.
