The article isn’t providing a lot of convincing data that AI improved much of anything, only that it didn’t cause incidents.

I really don’t understand why AI usage is mandatory for roles. Nobody’s doing anything like that for other productivity tools even when they’re proven to be helpful. Hell, a lot of employers can’t be bothered to provide basics like nice keyboards and monitors that exceed 1080p.

The current era of tech has way too many corporate losers.

Isn't mandating IDE usage a perfectly reasonable and common thing?

It's a productivity tool after all.

I'd never have worked at a place that mandated a specific IDE. Luckily it's something I never encountered, if it's ever done this is the first I'm hearing about it.

But you'd have to use an IDE right?

No, it never occurred to me that anyone would care. I don't think many of my bosses or teammates could have named my choice of IDE/editor even after working with me for a while. I'm sure I mentioned it occasionally but I don't think anyone would care enough to remember.

I was usually most productive with a text editor as opposed to an IDE but I'd sometimes use an IDE as needed or when I wanted to try something new.
