I never used AI for programming before retiring, but it sounds like another “productivity-enhancer” that costs more time than it saves. Management brings them in to make themselves seem like they’re keeping up with trends, but the workers actually using it get the harsh reality.
When we started using “Agile” project management, I lost one hour out of every seven just entering plans and status into the tools, and attending the bi-weekly/daily meetings to support the process...a 15% DROP in productivity.
Once you get into the zone, Agile actually helps a lot.
