I think my employer saw the Shopify CEO’s mandatory AI memo and got a little overexcited.
As a web developer I’ve tried copilot and disliked it immensely. It didn’t save me time because my syntax memory and minimal keystroke workflow are pretty decent after 20 years of huckin’ HTML and CSS in various frameworks.
I feel like if I give studies or interviews from companies who FAFOd I’d have a better chance of arguing my point. Does anybody have any in their back pocket they can spare?
Yes, I am very aware of the irony that I could try to ask an AI but avoiding it is kind of the point in this c, isn’t it?
My bosses hauled me into a meeting because I’m “too negative” about AI. I’m also a web developer, like you. Sometimes, when your boss is a clueless freak who has become obsessed with a shiny new toy, there’s no way out. I use it as sparingly and sarcastically as possible, but they still tell me to use it most weeks.
Sorry I have no advice for you! But I do feel your pain lol
