None. My company is hiring anyone who can use a computer and having them produce code via AI then review via AI and that is that. I was told to stop writing any code 6 months ago and haven't written a single line since. Not sure learning anything is worth it anymore, I'm shown every day at my company how they are replacing me directly and no longer have "devs" or "IT". They now call "IT", Digital Services and it can all be done by AI.

This reads like a grievance to me, so I’ll say—-I’m sorry, your company sounds like it sucks. Your skills are still valuable, I hope you can find somewhere else that values them.

That is a very unusual experience and not at all what happens in general. Quite the opposite. The more skilled you are, the more effective you can apply AI to solve problems. I suspect your company is destined to hit a maintenance/AI slop wall at some point in the future. My recommendation is to polish your CV and find another job ASAP.
