I believe this to actually be the silent majority. But of course our job is object to a lot of changes right now and people are nervous what the "next job" will look like. You can hold position like me and just take the the new tools when they are well tested and integrated, be pragmatic about it. Fingers crossed!
First Agent I used: Do a proper code review of the changeset, it adds comments in my merge requests. Then the junior devs paste these into their IDEs and loop forever :-P
How do you come up with this? I feel it is quite hard to formulate exactly what you want from the LLM in general. Is this something you exercised? So good. Or just output from another AI, who knows haha
It's because a lot of us used to use a calculator in school and some (like me) learned to code with it. Actually, I used dwedit.inc a lot in the beginning and loved dragon warrior monsters as much as you! What a great time. Thank you.
I have used Gotenberg [1] in a production environment. Dockerized in a Kubernetes Cluster. It just works! I can absolutely recommend it. Uses Chromium under the hood and was able to render gradients and text shadow, nice!

The best confidence boost is when someone uses your software and talks about it! Happened to me when I was young and programmed a game at school on a calculator and everyone wanted it, sent via link cable :)
