Which also means spending a lot of time learning AI tools gets wasted as the tooling improves.

I still suspect the vast silent majority of professional software devs haven’t integrated any, even Cursor-style, AI tools in to their main gig.

And I reckon that’s completely rational, for those that have made this choice explicitly.

Early adopters of AI tools are making a speculative bet, but so far most of them seem happy with the return.
