I am, though it always takes me longer than just writing it myself because I have to fix so much (which may be a function of the kind of software I write). But more importantly the development team I support as an admin absolutely loves their agents or whatever they're being called this week and yet isn't giving me stuff that I can move into operations any faster than they were a year ago.
What industry, and what kind of software? Your assessment was generally spot on a year ago, but things have changed dramatically in the last quarter, so I'm curious how fresh this assessment is.
Well, multiple types of software. The avionics simulation software we make isn't really a candidate for AI both because of procurement requirements and the fact that as of this month (we do check periodically) no LLM really gets how to do realtime Linux processes (this may be downstream of the fact that most writing about this topic on the Web is catastrophically wrong). The stuff we can use AI on is just generic customer-facing web schlock and it sure looks like we're trading dev time for integration time for what ends up being a wash.

Why don’t you post some of the software the AI has produced for you in the last quarter? Shouldn’t be a problem since it works so well now.
