I prefer being delusional and a cranky old dev, rather than trusting AI by giving all of my workplace code and logic. Powerful? Maybe. Helping you ship products faster? I don't know ; no metrics have been published about that in controlled settings, and I still think people will get lazy and after some time even the ones that tweaked the code and analyzed it thoroughly will just stop caring.

Go ahead, jump in that bandwagon, and prove me wrong in 5 years. All I want is proof.

Also, I didn't know one could be a cranky old dev after a few years of experience only
