As an engineer, I am still amazed to see small, medium and large companies embrace new technologies and try to change the workflow of everyone based on hype, and not on proves.

This proves, at least to me, that the system is broken, and no one is safe compared to marketing and fanfare.

I know some friends who are "10x more productive" now than before AI, but those friends were (with all my respect) not engineered but code-monkeys.

A bit pessimistic for the future of engineering to be honest. Either the future will belong to people who want to solve problems but lost their skills and re-invent the past again and again (because fundamentally the knowledge is lost), or to people who don't give a f** about quality but are only concerned about money and not solving problems.
