Not from what I see. At my job we have a range of AI skeptics to enthusiasts, and I don’t think I’ve seen anything showing a productivity gap between them be so why would I expect it from people I’m hiring?
As a developer to me these coding/productivity agents are akin to the invention of the spreadsheets. All of a sudden I can do so many things I couldn’t before. I’m genuinely trying to understand why anyone in the profession wouldn’t be all over a powerful tool like that which in one way or another can benefit one’s productivity. It’s a tool. Do something with it.
Everyone’s experience is different though, I’m sure I’m missing something.
Agreed with your mindset. I understand people being afraid of change; the world we live in is going to change over the next few years. Personally, though, I'd rather ride the wave than get knocked over by it.

I'm curious - do you think the expectations are not shifting?

Thanks for sharing that perspective. In my experience there are noticeable gaps.
