alt Hacker NewsI wrote code by hand for 20 years. Now I use AI for nearly all code. I just can’t compete in speed and thoroughness. As the post says, you must guide the AI still. But if you think you can continue working without AI in a competitive industry, I am absolutely sure you will eventually have a very bad time.

I certainly know engineers for which this is true but unfortunately they were never particularly thorough or fast to begin with.
I believe you can tell which way the wind is blowing by looking at open source.
Other than being flooded with PRs high profile projects have not seen a notable difference - certainly no accelerated enhancements. there has definitely been an explosion of new projects, though, most of dubious quality.
Spikes and research are definitely cheaper now.
