I've ended up only using inline generative AI completions to do programming when I'm either on a strict deadline or making a demo for a conference/meetup talk. Otherwise I limit myself to pasting in/out of a chat window. This helps balance things out so that I can meet deadlines when I need to, both otherwise retain my programming/SRE skill.
That being said, one of my top google searches are things like "kubernetes mount configmap as files" because I don't quite do them often enough to have them totally internalized yet.
I also use inline code generation, but it just seems like a more intelligent version of the code-aware autocomplete my IDE already provides. I love it, but it doesn’t feel like I’m atrophying because I’m still “driving”. It just saves a lot of keystrokes
