You have to understand the people in the article are execs from the chip EDA (Electronic Design Automation) industry. It's full of dinosaurs who have resisted innovation for the past 30 years. Of course they're going to be blowing hot air about how they're "embracing AI". It's a threat to their business model.
I'm a little biased though since I work in chip design and I maintain an open source EDA project.
I agree with their take for the most part, but it's really nothing insightful or different than what people have been saying for a while now.
- estimator7292 8mo agoIn my humble opinion, every corporate EDA exec can suck farts through a bendy straw. Altium has to be some of the worst software in existence.
- blackguardx 8mo agoAltium isn't great, but you must not have tried the others...
- phkahler 8mo agoKiCAD or Horizon EDA?
- reactordev 8mo agoIt’s in software too. Old guard leadership wanting “AI” as a badge but not knowing what to do with it. They are just sprinkling it into their processes and exfiltrating data while engineers continue to make a mess of things. Unlike real AI projects that utilize it for workflows, or generating models that do a thing. Nope, they are taking a Jira ticket, asking copilot, reviewing copilot, responding to Jira ticket. They’re all ripe for automation.
- bigfishrunning 8mo agoLol it's cute you think they're reviewing copilot. They're copying and pasting a wall of text without reading it.
- reactordev 8mo agoNo, it’s integrated into the repo through “projects” and stuff in github enterprise. It’s not copy and paste…
