Interesting, I wonder how much of the value of team+AI is the sense of constant momentum and progress. In my experience the utility of vibecoding is overrated BUT the utility of having a constant, enthusiastic, broadly-knowledgable assistant is underrated. I've been moving a lot faster with the help of AI but it's almost entirely acting as a "super rubber duck" that helps me explore ideas or overcome roadblocks simply by being there and mildly helpful. This compounds when working on a team; because I'm making progress, other people are excited and try to make progress, which makes me excited, etc.
- mentalgear 2y agoExactly. I think we need to start talking less about "AI" as one overall term, and instead state the actual components that bring high value (semantic search) vs those of often low or unreliable value (code generation).
