Knowledge workers are on the brink of being crushed. AI will be fully capable of most coding tasks (especially VHDL and other deterministic scenarios).
Leaders will demand that we “hire”/“rent” AI workers rather than hire coders and other engineers.
It starts at Shopify and comes to Honeywell in 2027. No hiring unless AI can’t… No capital required.

I'm a veteran and AI can't impact me
At this point AI is a buzzword for leadership folks who don’t know anything about actual IT support work. For now, AI is starting to help compliment our work, but we are far away from it replacing anything other than Helpdesk or entry level jobs. — Clearly you are not a coder… otherwise you would understand that poor AI code will eventually lead to more work for people to cleanup. — Within Honeywell, “AI” is practically meaningless. What are we doing with AI so far? Other than pretending to make use of it. Red chat? Copilot? Absolute jokes.
So, I think the weirdo posting non-honeywell stuff has a computer and a phone. They like the original post and then go to their and like the post again. If I wanted, I could use 8 different non-honeywell devices to vote up or down as I see fit. I don't because it is a useless exercise. All I can say is Cry Harder. I am enjoying your tears.
Tariff posts are being removed? IS this site run by the TRUMP organization? Sounds like the mafia to me

If you think AI “isn’t there yet” .. then you are a year behind and still using copilot as your benchmark. Sorry fellow coders but the box is open and you are toast. AI can code better and faster, and debug better and faster than you can by a factor of 30. I am using multiple agent based models nonstop on my side job and frankly honeywell will be my side job in a few months given the rate the business is growing.
AI will likely displace low level coding and entry level positions, but the majority of engineering is analog and reliant on tacit understanding for which it is extremely difficult to generate a training set. I need to see use case beyond cheating on essays, generating copy-cat images and subroutines to get excited.
AI is not there YET, it's currently a great tool for subject matter experts and people learning, but in the next few years it will change everything. I have seen what is coming.
Here is the problem with AI generated code....when it doesn't work quite right, and you have to debug...then you essentially have to take the same amount of time to read through it to figure out what is going on...than if you coded it yourself.
Now...I use AI to generate code, but I use it to give me a basis of solving a problem. I take it, understand it, modify it...then use it. It could have found a more elegant way of coding it.
So its just another tool in the quiver.
Yes but Honeywell does not even let you use AI - so not a problem
