Plenty of IDEs have non-LLM predictive text. Common code patterns pop up as a suggestion, and continue to refine as you type. It’s not the same level of “write a comment and we will spit out something that might work” but it’s more than a few steps above notepad.

As to not be fired. I’ve been forced to use AI at work, I’m “slower” than the rest of my coworkers even with AI, but I also don’t spend half my week fixing bugs for code that I didn’t read from the week before. I’ll usually pick a project and tell the robot to figure it out, give it all the context it needs so it’s not asking every 5 minutes for access to my whole disk, and let it run. While it’s doing that I’ll hand code and actually do the work. I’m convinced it’s the fact that I still code that I’m able to read and understand what slop need to be ripped out of the robots output. I might do 2-3 tickets a day while others are doing 5-6, but I also didn’t introduce a bug that cost our clients $1,000/day for 2 weeks straight and then didn’t know how to fix it so it continued costing them that for 3 extra days while struggling to read code that I didn’t write. tldr: code by hand while the robots running it’s task. Don’t lose the skill just because you’re not as fast.
