Staff Engineer here. Our CTO told us in March two things. One, if we didn’t get on board with AI then we would be unemployable in 3 months and two, we had to use AI for everything. Literally everything. I asked (as a senior engineer of 19 years) if that included simple bug fixes I see that take minutes vs 30+ describing the problem. The answer was “absolutely”. Our budget is $400K /month to Anthropic and we exceeded that 3 weeks into May
