alt Hacker NewsThe phrase "shape up or ship out" is an apt one I've heard. Agentic AI is a core part of software engineering. Either you are learning and using these tools, or you're not a professional and don't belong in the field.

What an incredibly stupid, tasteless, reductionist opinion. Go log off for a while and reevaluate your life.

Seems strange, for decades we allowed developers to use what made them comfortable, you like notepad? go ahead and use it. Don't want an LSP? that's fine disable it.
So long as their productivity was on par with the rest of the team there was no issue.
Suddenly, everyone needs to use this new tool (which we haven't proven to actually be effective) and if you don't you don't belong in the industry.
