"AI" is everywhere, because it's the fashion. A lot of jobs do not require AI mastery, or even heavy use.

I'm searching for a job for many months, and I do see the uptick quite clearly.

Fashion is when developers jump on the next web framework because they got bored of the old one.

But when you get fired for not enough token usage, that's something else. When bosses start demanding you write 100% of your code using AI, and then a few months later Anthropic reports 30% increase in usage, that's not fashion. People who invested in AI are putting a lot of pressure on developers to ensure their investment pays off.
