> "The engineers refusing to try aren’t protecting themselves; quite the opposite, they’re falling behind. The gap is widening between engineers who’ve integrated these tools and engineers who haven’t. The first group is shipping faster, taking on bigger challenges. The second group is… not."

Honest question for the engineers here. Have you seen this happening at your company? Are strong engineers falling behind when refusing to integrate AI into their workflow?

Agree with OP that LLMs are a great tool for this use case. It's made possible because OP diligently created useful input data. Unfortunately OP's conclusion goes against the AI hype machine. If "consuming" is the "superpower" of AI, then the current level of investment/attention would not be justified.
