The software engineer acknowledged that AI tools can help improve productivity if used properly, but for programmers with relatively limited experience, he feels the harm is greater than the benefit. Most of the junior developers at the company, he explained, don’t remember the syntax of the language they’re using due to their overreliance on Cursor.

Good luck for the future developers I guess.

companies that’ve spent money on AI enterprise licenses need to show some sort of ROI to the bean-counters. Hence, mandates.

Can’t wait for AI bubble to pop. If this continues, expect more incidents/outages due to AI generated slop code in the future.

Unrelated but relevant advice: Is this a refurbished laptop?

1. Make sure to run Lenovo Diagnostics software; you can get it from official Lenovo website and check for any hardware issues during the stress testing.
2. Check if BIOS password is removed.
3. Test for memory RAM errors: disable secure boot in BIOS, then run Memtest86 test via a bootable USB to check for any memory errors.
