The insane AI push is purely driven by fear of being left behind.

No one is actually stopping to ask whether it is all worth it.

    It’s changing rapidly, but handing automation tools to people who don’t understand the underlying concepts just gets you a bigger mess. There are no well-established best practices for how to use it safely and effectively because it’s too new and changing too fast.

    It will settle down eventually, but a lot of people will do a lot of dumb things first.

      Best practices are something I’ve rarely ever seen applied at corporations. If I’m lucky, I’m only trying to explain to management why we need source control, if I’m unlucky the tech team needs to be educated and forced to use it.

      Really can’t see AI assistance going smooth when it lets people think even less about what they’re doing.

      There are definitely companies that can take advantage of it and use it properly, but I think they are going to be a minority.
