AI coding was experimental a year ago. It's no longer experimental anymore. The industry standard is that most code changes are AI generated.

That is absolutely not the case.


Everyone I know from every company I know no longer writes their code by hand anymore. Doing it by hand is the exception.

Anecdotally I find it true, but I haven't seen actual industry wide surveys.

And this is the problem. I have yet to see any actual studies of efficacy. It’s just people using “feelings” to justify the spend. If I did this for anything else, I might get fired. Why does AI get a pass for this?

This is insane.


>Why does AI get a pass for this?

Because business leaders are watching the exponential trend lines and are working off of predictions of the future.


There is still no evidence, it’s all vibes. If you replaced AI with tulips, it would make no difference.

We are at the point where QA can fix bugs by describing the issue they are seeing.

We are at the point where bugs can be fixed automatically by hooking up AI to crash reporting telemetry.

Tulips can't fix bugs.


> most code changes are AI generated

That's a huge claim.
