I work for a medium-to-large company in the US. I'm not sure how big the total IT department is, but the software development team is about a 10-15 people, most coders.

As a senior developer, I have yet to find a way for AI to make my job as a coder easier or more productive. It has about the same productivity gains (for me alone) as a good StackOverflow search in that AI can answer questions or write some example code for me, but it doesn't go much beyond that. My employer has purchased some AI tools and if there were a product that could help me, I believe they would invest in it.

How much does AI do for you? Can it implement a feature? Mine can write simple functions but most require some tweaking and aren't particularly difficult for me to do on my own.

As an idea-guy armed with AI, what will the senior-principal do that you and the AI cannot?
