You are focusing on code. That is the wrong focus. Creating code was never the job. The job was being trustworthy about what I deliver and how.

AI is not worthy of trust, and the sort of reasonable people I want to deal with won’t trust it and don’t. They deal with me because I am not a simulation of someone who cares— I am the real thing. I am a purple cow in terms of personal credibility and responsibility.

To the degree that the application of AI is useful to me without putting my credibility at risk, I will use it. It does have its uses.

(BTW, although I write code as part of my work, I stopped being a full-time coder in my teens. I am tester, testing consultant, expert witness, and trainer, now.)
