I'm not sure. I have a buddy that's one of the better engineers I know personally, and he struggled to maintain an "AI Lent" for even a month. He found he just wasn't productive enough without it.

He did a writeup: https://buduroiu.com/blog/ai-lent-end/

> I delivered more work that I was less confident about, making me more miserable in the process

Don't leave the kicker out of the story

The kicker is he wasn't able to compete without the agents.

IMO this is the natural end state of LLM fueled capitalism: products skating along the razor edge between "has value under capitalism" and "is a heap of garbage" until we suddenly realize there's nothing under our feet.

His success measurement is PRs. The success measurement I mean is increased likelihood of company succeeding.
