    I am at a company that is forcing devs to use AI tooling. So far, it saves a lot of time on an already well defined project, including documentation. I have not used it to generate tests or to build a green field project. Those are coming tho as we have been told by management that all future projects should include AI components in some way. Coolaid has been consumed deeply.

      I think of ai more as an enhanced autocomplete. Instead of autocompleting function calls, it can autocomplete entire lines.

      Unit tests are fairly repetitive, so it does a decent job of autocompleting those, needing only minor corrections

      I’m still up in the air over regexes. It does generate something but I’m not sure it adds value

      I haven’t had much success with the results of generating larger sections of code
