84% Of Devs Use AI. 29% Trust It. The Missing Skill Isn't Review. It's Refusal.

Two days ago I opened my Claude Code dashboard. I wanted to see how many outputs I had killed (killed before review, before diff, killed because three seconds were enough to see the thing wasn't salvageable. The ratio slapped me. The vast majority of raw outputs never passed my first filter. Not fixable. Just garbage. (admit it, you have the same graph waiting for you) In 2024 I was fixing. In 2026 I refuse. Not the same job anymore. TLDR: Stack Overflow shipped its 2025 survey. 84% of devs use AI, 29% trust it. Between those two numbers, a gap. Everyone named it.
