Generative AI
You wake up. You check Slack - the spam filter already ate three notifications you didn't want. You open your IDE, and before you've typed the second character of a function name, a grey ghost of completed code appears. You push to GitHub. A bot comments on your PR. It's not even 9am. You haven't "used AI" yet - but AI has been working for you for hours. This is the part most tech articles skip: AI isn't something you opt into. For developers especially, it's already baked into the tools, platforms, and infrastructure you rely on every day. The question isn't whether you're using AI.
