Even as I'm winding down after 40 years of software engineering, I'm incorporating AI in my daily work. I need to remain relevant and competitive at age 68. When I do retire, I'll get to switch focus to problems that interest me and languages I prefer. As an employee, I focus on my customer's problems and solve them with the tools required under the contract that implements the winning proposal. Much of the work is modernizing legacy systems that were built over the last 30 years. I was a team member of many of them. Today...an SME morphing the old capability to run on new platforms.

It’s gotten better in the last year I’ve used it but for my coding tasks but it still generates worthless code about 80% of the time.

What it is, is a better search algorithm… but I attribute that to Google et al degrading their search algorithms for ad space. They’ll eventually do the same for AI and we’ll be back to the current state of things.
