I have been reading a lot that 90% of their code is AI generated, companies are pushing developers to use AI as it makes them fast. But I am a little cautious of believing them. Is it true? Also sorry I didn't find a css career subreddit so I am asking here.

We don’t write code anymore. It’s all AI generated.

The job is figuring out the design, agreeing with other teams on that design and contracts between your components, and then telling AI to do all the work. Even if you have bugs or maintenance, you just prompt AI to fix it. You can also have AI write all your tests.

You wanted an honest answer, that’s it.

Others will be cranky about it and downvote me.

Yeap. As a software engineer, this is 100% my experience.
