i would never use AI for my actual code. if i do that, the fun part for me is gone entirely. you can use it to explain functions, documentation, etc, but the second it starts spitting out code i'm out. i'd also be ashamed to tell people a project of mine uses AI code. it's a bit like art to me in that regard. i'm not going to generate a watercolor of spider man and hang it on my wall and be proud of it. some people experience great joy finishing a paint by numbers piece, but i wouldn't.

i understand that some people don't have a choice. they're getting paid to produce and when the boss man screams Mush! .. off they go. i can only hope that the people who truly enjoyed programming have long since migrated to leadership positions instead. because whatever they might miss from their days as a lowly code monkey is long gone.
