A Fastly survey finds that over 70% of senior developers say AI‑assisted coding makes their jobs more enjoyable and speeds delivery, though they spend extra effort reviewing machine‑generated code. Only a small share of junior programmers rely heavily on AI, preferring hand‑crafted solutions. The study also reveals generational gaps in energy‑impact awareness, with about 80% of older coders considering power costs versus roughly half of younger developers. Senior engineers, who balance testing, architecture, and mentoring, view AI as a way to recapture the “fun dopamine hit” of programming while staying cautious about broader automation consequences.

Developers are increasingly using AI‑generated code, known as vibe coding, to speed up projects. Senior engineers, however, find themselves spending significant time correcting the AI's output, which can include hallucinated packages, deleted information, and security risks. Interviews with developers like Carla Rover and Feridoon Malekzadeh reveal frustrations, costly rewrites, and a new "innovation tax" of extra review work. Companies such as Fastly and NinjaOne acknowledge the productivity boost but stress mandatory human oversight and security scanning to keep AI‑generated code safe for production. Leer más →
