people actually are saying if you keep coding by hand you will be left behind

my CEO said it publicly to all engineers

he still pays me for my handwritten code tho. luckily it's easy to pretend you like AI and know by lying since it has basically no skill curve.

and then just carry on doing a good job the old way.

"People" say a lot of things, I can only reply to comments said here, not to vague words by anonymous people from the ether.

Good think your CEO speaks for everyone in the industry.

I think what he means is that he's afraid for his company being beaten by competitors who will overtake you if they use AI but you don't.
