Without a brand name, how can we verify this is real?

Same here in LATAM. We are also an AI-First company now. No customer-first, or product-first, or data-driven (I actually liked the idea behind being data-driven). All the code must be AI-generated by the end of Q1. All the employees must include at least one AI-adoption metric or project in their goals.

My current workplace has a new mandate: All the new code must be 100% AI generated code by the end of Q1.

Almost all the responses here talk about impostor syndrome or being mediocre. But maybe OP is really bad. Like really, really bad. I know that is possible because I'm a very bad developer myself, I know it's possible to be a bad developer (not mediocre) for years on. We still deliver, we work on very small teams or in places where we are the only developer, so nobody notice the mess your solutions are. They work. But you know they are bad, no tests, no best practices, not even consistency between code.

My point is: I hope some advice acknowledge that maybe OP is correct about his real skills.
