    It's interesting how there's an increasing split of software engineers into those who're very happy with AI and leaning more into it, and those who're increasingly skeptical or dejected.

    I don't know how this will play out, but I haven't seen anything like this before.

      To me, doesn't feel much different than when infra-as-code became popular in the 2010s

      It was a huge shift in the world of system administration, gave birth to devops, and, along with the rise of containers & cloud computing, it radically altered how companies ran their infrastructure

      Some people leaned into it, others didn't and a huge rift opened up between them

      I used to say "automate all the things" - I still do, but I used to too

      AI tools are just an acceleration of that mindset and in my world of cloud/devops/sre I'm heavily leaning into AI-driven development and daily workflow

        But that’s such a niche part of the industry. AI is in everything.
