Ask HN: Are the heaviest AI users of your team blowing past everyone else?

4•ex-aws-dude•1h ago

As AI assisted coding can be pretty divisive some SEs don't use any of the tools and some use them heavily.

I'm curious to hear do you notice a difference in performance of team members using the tools vs not?

Are the ones using them blowing past the rest of the team in terms of features shipped, bugs fixed, productivity?

Are faster promotions/higher ratings going to these people?

Yes. I can tell who uses it and who doesn't. Also who is good at using it and who isn't.

Are the people who are good at using it the same people who were good at what they did before AI? I'm kind of curious
