As a senior dev who has been using these tools to their fullest effectiveness in production environments, until AI can reduce the entropy of a codebase while still adding capability I will continue to be underwhelmed.
Did you ever ask it to do that?
Did one ever ask if AI can reduce entropy of a growing code base? You mustn’t have read that famous short story by Asimov.
"They Don't Think It Be Like It Is But It Do", is all I can think.
The simple truth is, these senior devs have no idea how to use these new tools to their capabilities.
It's a simple case of PEBCAK; ironic considering most of them would be the ones throwing that term around 20 years ago.
Or more likely you don't have the knowledge and the skills they do. They are judging things in a level that you don't have any idea it exists.
