I’m not using it for the incentive. I’m using it to avoid punishment. The company I work for made it mandatory to use it daily. So I’m tokenmaxxing bullshit tasks so I can focus on interesting ones, but yeah I already feel it’s making me lazy because I sometimes can’t be bothered to read a log anymore. We are truly fucked.
This company is working on terrible assumptions. They spent years hunting for the best engineers in the country (or so they pretend to anyway) and suddenly decided that
we are average at best and it is better and faster than most of us (it’s not)
software engineers don’t like to write code anyway (we do, at least when the challenge is interesting)
it will forever be more affordable than properly qualified engineers (oh boy it won’t)
a PM with Claude is as qualified as us to bring features to production (talk about tech stack suicide)
etc.
They either have drunk the propaganda koolaid and betting everything on this lie, or are so arrogant they think we can succeed where the largest AI investors in the world utterly failed (see GitHub that can’t even get 3 nines of availability since the switched to full-ai-code).
