76% of all respondents are using or are planning to use AI tools in their development process this year, an increase from last year (70%). Many more developers are currently using AI tools this year, too (62% vs. 44%).
What the fuck. That's horrifying. I also though that every sensible workplace bans the use of AI.
A friend was telling me about a discussion between CTO's at a conference, where they were talking about whether it's even worth it to hire junior developers anymore, since there's a high risk of them just being "AI-raised", without much (or any) experience of coding without AI. And, this survey result... I can see where they are coming from. The future of programming looks pretty bleak - our job will not be replaced. It will just get worse, with good developers being more of a rarity.
And the amount of people who use vim or neovim as their IDE is surprisingly high. Is it skewed by sysadmins?
