When my company first started pushing for devs to use AI, the most senior guy on my team was pretty vocal about coding not being the bottleneck that slowed down work. It was an I/O issue, and maybe a caching issue as well from too many projects going at the same time with no focus… which also makes the I/O issues worse.

Ironically using Ai on records of meetings across an org is amazing. If you can find out what everyone is talking about you can talk to them.

Privacy is non existent, every word said and message sent at the office is recorded but the benefits we saw were amazing.

Yep. Previous org I was at had the fancy copilot integrated into teams. All meetings were auto transcribed and you could chat with copilot about the meeting directly in the chat. It was absolutely magical at extracting action points, decisions and other salient points. It was like having a secretary for each and every meeting.

So how is it going for him? Was he able to prove his point?

He was laid off… unrelated to these opinions.

He was correct though. For example, I’ve been waiting over a month for another team to set me up so I can test something they wanted me to develop. I’ve followed up multiple times. AI coding tools aren’t going to solve my blocker.
