Every single business that has a need for SWEs will obligate their SWEs to use AI coding assistants by the end of 2026, if not by the end of 2025.
If businesses mandated speed like that, then we’d all have been forced to use emacs decades ago. Businesses mandate correctness and AI doesn’t as clearly help to that end.
There's nothing natural about using emacs in the way that an LLM can convert natural language to working code and productivity gains.
For better or worse, you won't find correctness on any business' income statement. Sure, it's a latent variable, but so is efficiency.
