This is simply not true. As a counter example consider debuggers. They are a big productivity boost, but it requires the user to change their development practice and learn a new tool. This makes adoption very hard. AI has a similar issue of being a new tool with a learning curve.
- RandallBrown 9mo agoDid companies actually send out memos saying "We're going to be a company that uses debuggers!" I would have just thought that people using them would quickly outpace the people that weren't and the people falling behind would adapt or die.
- agentultra 9mo agoDo they have to die though? I know some folks that use them and others who don't. They both seem to get along fine.

Especially if there are big licensing costs for the debuggers. >the people falling behind would adapt or die. It is better to educate people, make them more efficient, and avoid having them die. Having employees die is expensive for the company.
