AI sucks in my domain. One of our competitors uses it and they say they get amazing results when senior people use the tools but can't give them to juniors because they keep messing up.
I'm glad it doesn't work in my niche to be honest. I'm in the frontlines debugging broken code and the last thing I need is bloat. This would actually slow me down a lot. I find it pretty shitty at diagnosing even small pieces of code, and I can't try stuff like Claude Code because I'm not allowed to transfer some of the code we use to the cloud because it's under NDAs. But if it can't get the simple stuff right, I can't trust it with the keys to our Lambo.
I stay informed about it all to know when/if I should quit software engineering and do something else, but it seems fine so far. It looks like I won't be able to take it easy in the future and go back to pissing webapp code, which means less opportunities, but oh well.
Oh and I do know two companies that mandate LLM usage. Somebody from my current company left for one of those and hates it.
