I figure my experience might be uncommon here so I'll offer it: None, no, none, no, no.

Same for me. Since I quit tech (professionally) about 5 years ago, I was never part of the AI thing. I still write a lot of code, but I enjoy coding, so I don't use AI.
Having tried LLMs for coding a couple of times in the last couple of years, this used to be me until about a month ago.

Then I again tried Claude Code and OpenCode with a local (due to work I cannot use anything else, moreover wouldn't want to either) Qwen3.8 and behold: my current stance now is that _not_ using something like that, if you can, is missing out on a great tool.

And maybe it's because of the way I use it (in essence: to take care of what is the slowest bit of the process for me which is the typing and the find/replace and other repetitive stuff), but I really cannot come up with any sane reason not to use it.

There are perhaps more dozens of us than we expect, eh?
