"Just doing x? That isn't enough"

Writing articles using chatgpt? That doesn't cut it in 2025.

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

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.

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