So you double check your work, you try to be reasonably confident in your answers, and you make sure your code actually does what it’s supposed to do. You take responsibility for your work, maybe even take pride in it.
In my experience, around 50% of (professional) developers do not take pride in their work, nor do they care.










The amount of their output goes up. More importantly, they excrete code faster than good developers equipped with AI, simply because they don’t bother to review generated code. So now they are seen as top performers instead of always lagging behind like it was before AI.
Whether it actually results in better code is debatable, especially in the long run.
