We’ve managed to put quite a dent in the feature backlog we had for our admin tooling. We knew what features we wanted, they didn’t require marketing or comms but did require time to spend doing them.
I did want it to improve our e2e testing but it didn’t make it as easy as I expected.
My personal opinion is that if a team couldn't write something before AI then they should be very careful about writing it with the help of AI.
For example a team that couldn't write a new encrypted messaging app without AI, gets an AI to write them one. How do they check that the code is actually secure? Writing encryption code is very hard to get correct, in fact most humans can't get it right, and if you don't understand the intricacies of cryptography then you'll never pick up the mistakes the AI makes.

The exact same things I could build before. There was never anything stopping me in the first place.
