But fortunately "Use of the e-ID is voluntary..." in their case. Whereas in the UK it's being pushed as a (for all intents and purposes) mandatory thing.
I agree with this mostly - but recently a bug was introduced into our app because of a copilot suggestion that wasn't checked thoroughly enough by the engineer (it suggested a property that was similarly named to another property but not the same).
Like you say, it makes the most sense repetitive or easy tasks.
My usage of Copilot is dramatically higher in strictly typed languages because of things like this. It's almost counter-productive if I have to very carefully analyze every variable name to make sure it's not subtly wrong.
Having a compiler do that validation of AI output helps dramatically so I only have to validate logic and not every freaking character in the function.
This is why I have Copilot write unit tests too :D
Actually it does the boring bit of generating the test data and the basic cases, I'll do a once over and add more if it's a something that warrants it.
I'm surprised that, as a senior, you're able to offload your work to Cursor.
Maybe it's light years ahead of GPT, but I'm also a senior engineer and get almost no usable code out of AI tools without having to double check and then reimplement its suggestions. I use them to generate ideas for algorithms mainly, and would not (could not) just copy-paste its solution into my/our codebase. It must depend on what you're building.
Being senior can mean completely different things depending on the job. I believe a senior whose work can be offloaded to Cursor at the extent OP claims may be the kind of senior who doesn't really need to deal with that much complexity in the first place.
