Me too.
I used to report bugs, read release notes; I was all in on the full stack debug capability in pycharm of Django.
The first signs of trouble (with AI specifically) predated GitHub copilot to TabNine.
TabNine was the first true demonstration of AI powered code completion in pycharm. There was an interview where a jetbrains rep lampooned AI’s impact on SWE. I was an early TabNine user, and was aghast.
A few months later copilot dropped, time passed and now here we are.
It was neat figuring out how I had messed up my implementations. But I would not trade the power of the CLI AI for any *more* years spent painstakingly building products on my own.
I’m glad I learned when I did.
