The silver line is not to avoid AI but to use it wisely, and this is coming from somebody who used to hate AI.

I am not a Python developer or developer for the matter but Perplexity AI did help me to understand the bsic of Python for API requests and get projects delivery with 94% code coverage and vulnerability free.

AI also reduced the time spent with Ansible playbook generation, but I do know Ansible, I do know Linux, homelab is my hobby so I am not just doing copy and paste. I review whatever it generates and correct it when required.

In the companies I have worked and work, I see developers themselves confessing "I used AI, it works but idk how"!

AI itself does not make you useless, only and only if you used it as a smart search engine.

If you are doing copy/paste, you are going to get so screwed professionally speaking.

Folks are no longer learning and what they are doing, AI can do on its own.

That is making some developer useless.
