- Retr0id 1y ago"as opposed to most tools, AI acts as a multiplier" I struggle to think of a tool that doesn't act as a multiplier.
- tomjakubowski 1y agoYeah, it's like the elemental definition of what a tool is.
- zoezoezoezoe 1y agoI really dont like what this means for the future of shopify's development.

- jpmcb 1y ago> 5. Before asking for more Headcount and resources, teams must demonstrate why they cannot get what they want done using AI. What would this area look like if autonomous AI agents were already part of the team? This question can lead to really fun discussions and projects. I'm still baffled by the disconnect between what executives believe and are being sold. And what is currently possible with AI tools: I know of no tools that can fully replace headcount, especially in engineering.
- Retr0id 1y agoToday's AI output looks great from a distance and less good the closer you inspect. It's unfortunate but not all too surprising that those taking a high-level view have an over-optimistic impression of it.
- jmathai 1y agoIt doesn't have to replace 100% of a single person. It can replace 20% of 5 people.
- 000ooo000 1y agoWe can't talk about lowering headcount without due consideration to the loss of precious collaboration and diversity, things we spent the last 2 decades having rammed down our throats as critical to any exceptional team. Mask is off now I guess.
- jmathai 1y agoI’m not suggesting it is good, bad or even a net positive. It’s just how I think it will be applied from an executive lens.
- dboreham 1y agoAmusing that these are the same folks who wouldn't buy developers a better compiler or better editors for the past 20 years.
