I find XP/CD practitioners are largely unimpressed as they've already achieved the throughout (and also maintained high stability).
Compared to "code as fast as you can" folks, I can imagine XP/CD folks using this technology in a very different way, with very different goals, if at all.

On reflection, I can see why AI looks amazing to folks who:
- Didn't automate stuff before
- Didn't start by writing a test
- Didn't reflect on their deployment pipeline and remove waterfall steps
- Didn't merge to main every hour or two
But, oh my, there are other things you're still missing out on, like feedback loops, that are going to cause you harm.

It’s nice to see new neighbours move into the Fediverse. It feels unwelcoming to see people immediately interview them about the purity of their intentions. Or telling them You’re Doing It Wrong.

Ever since I read Steve McConnell's After The Goldrush, I've been listening to people tell me why software engineering should be exempt from the kind of controls that e.g. electrical engineering or medicine or plumbing are subject to.
The reason is almost always "Their work can do real harm".
Yeah? Look around you, dude.
Auto-hide UI. The feature I didn't know I needed and can't live without!
