It's your option not to use it. However, this is a competitive environment and so we will see who pulls out ahead, those that use AI as a productivity multiplier versus those that do not. Maybe that multiplier is less than 1, time will tell.
Agreed. The nice thing is that I am told by HN and Twitter that agentic workflows makes code tasks very easy, so if it turns out that using these tools multiplies productivity, then I can just start using them and it will be easy. Then I am caught up with the early adopters and don't need to worry about being out-competed by them.
