Just a note on how workplace AI is going in one mid-sized software development firm:
Over the last couple years our leadership has gone from "we're assessing how this will impact our work" to "omg Cursor is so great why are you still using VSCode" to "we support both VSCode and Cursor, and you're still free to use your own editors" to "Claude is pretty cool; we've mostly stopped using Cursor" to "screw it, we're writing agent-agnostic development guidelines and it's on you to figure out whether and how to put that into whatever tool you're using, and there's an optional company MCP with our best practices"
If you're not actively surfing the wave of the latest-and-greatest, it looks like a whole lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing. You can still be a decent software dev without using the AI tools.
On the other hand, the customer's Gemini-vibe-coded gesture at a solution to a problem we were having with a third-party library had one made-up method, and one real method with the wrong function signature, but the real method's name got us into the right part of the library's poorly-written docs, and that resulted in the final solution, which looked absolutely nothing like the vibe-coded suggestion.
