The workload that's starting now, is spotting bad code written by colleagues using AI, and persuading them to re-write it.
"But it works!"
'It pulls in 15 libraries, 2 of which you need to manually install beforehand, to achieve something you can do in 5 lines using this default library'
TBH those same colleagues were probably just copy/pasting code from the first google result or stackoverflow answer, so arguably AI did make them more productive at what they do
2012 me feels personally called out by this. fuck 2012 me that lazy fucker. stackoverflow was my "get out of work early and hit the bar" card.
yay!! do more stupid shit faster and with more baseless confidence!
