"I will never use AI to code" (publicly)

Not the hill I would die on.

Back in the day of the early industrial revolution and roads being improved, I imagine there were quite a few "horses forever" people. Some people embrace progress, some hate it. No one however is comfortable with change, if they had any skin in the game.

And everyone having a calculator from grade 4 in school, hasn't made everyone an accountant.

But to be fair, no one has ever experience change as fast as our profession has.
