I'll grant you that companies trying to force "AI" into everything are going about it mostly the wrong way but speaking from the position of someone who writes code and oversees people that write code: AI (aka LLMs) is absolutely changing everything.

I can't speak to other industries but LLMs have completely changed many if not all aspects of my job. We're producing more code, better tested code, better reviewed code, at a faster speed than ever before.

This will probably be downvoted since HN seems to be full of people who still think LLMs are ChatGPT 3.5-level "intelligence" and aren't willing or able to learn/try new methods. That sounds harsh but the truth is that writing code by hand is going away.

The people trying to shove "AI" into everything without thinking critically are wrong but so are the people who still, confidently, claim that LLMs cannot write good code. That might have been somewhat true 2 years ago but it hasn't been the case since at least Dec 2025 and has only improved since then.

As for the "0%" success rate in enterprise? Ehh, I'm not sure I buy that but I also work for a smaller startup and enterprise companies never cease to amaze me with their waste so maybe it's not so surprising. But it's not because LLMs are worthless, just that those people don't know what they are talking about and/or horribly overestimate how to use them effectively.
