Who is affected and how

junior developer
Daily AI use can now be considered a baseline expectation, so it is worth adapting your own workflow to it.
senior developer

tech lead

CTO
Against the Hungarian benchmark, licence and training budgets may be worth revisiting; according to the articles, education is not keeping pace.
startup founder
AI use is widespread in the Hungarian developer market, so it needs to be factored into capacity planning.
