    The study was centered on bugfixing large established projects. This task is not really the one that AI helpers excel at.

    “AI is good for Hello World projects written in javascript.”

    Managers will still fire real engineers though.

      I find it more useful doing large language transformations and delving into unknown patterns, languages or environments.

      If I know a source head to toe, and I’m proficient with that environment, it’s going to offer little help. Specially if it’s a highly specialized problem.

      Since SVB crash there have been firings left and right. I suspect AI is only an excuse for them.
