At least in my work, this is sort of like asking "If you don't enjoy CI/CD or the cloud, why not do without it?" It's becoming integrated into every process at this point.

And many employers now require you to code faster, which is only possible with AI tooling. They don't understand that coding faster isn't always better.

Is this related to what business your employer is in? In other words, is their business producing code, or is code written to support some other business?

Or is this just everywhere now?

How is that enforced though? At any normal workplace they will ask you "how long is this going to take"?

		It depends on the management. Mine asks that, but others within my company get "this is going to be done by [DATE]".

As Eric Schluntz from Anthropic put it (not verbatim): If you're not using AI (I believe he was specifically referring to Vibe Coding), then you are the bottleneck.
