How many would those people be?

We forget that it's what the majority does that sets the tone and conditions of a field. Especially if one is an employee and not self-employed

Yeah, I remember being forced to write a cryptocoin, and the database it would power, to ensure that global shipping receipts would be better trusted. Years and millions down the toilet, as the world moved on from the hype. And we moved back to SAP.

What the majority does in the field, is always full of the current trend. Whether that trend survives into the future? Pieces always do. Everything, never.

I have no financial stake in it at all. If anything, I'll be hurt by AI. All the same, it's very clear that I'm much more productive when AI writes the code and I spend my time prompting, reviewing, testing, and spot editing.

I think this is true for everyone. Some people just won't admit it for various transparent psychological reasons.

What you are calling productivity is an illusion caused by shifting work from the creator to the reviewer or generating generational code debt.

Still waiting for anyone to solve actual real world problems with their AI “productivity”.
