> If LLM's really delivered 10x productivity improvements, as claimed by some, then we should by now be seeing an explosion of productivity out of Microsoft. It's been a couple years, so if it really helps then we should see it by now.
That productivity may not be visible. I think MS's move-everything-to-rust initiate would be one hell of an endorsement if they manage to make visible progress on that in the next couple of years.
- Someone1234 9mo agoMicrosoft has no "move-everything-to-Rust initiative" and never did. That was a bunch of clickbait created based on the personal comments by a single Microsoft developer.
- Octoth0rpe 9mo agoThanks for the heads up, I was not following closely.
- mattgreenrocks 9mo ago> That productivity may not be visible. I'm not sure what your take is, but this reads like goalpost shifting. If one of the biggest orgs that practically mandates some amount of LLM use cannot surface productivity gains from them after using them for several years, then that speaks volumes. Reality has a way of showing itself eventually.
