In my very humble view, the mythical 10x developer can now be a 100x developer, and the 2x developer usually stays a 2x developer. We live in two parallel worlds right now. Some run an army of agents and ship somehow working and testable code, and some try to prove AI is not as good as them.
- monero-xmr 8mo agoI haven’t seen any evidence of an army of agents producing unicorn companies. If this was the case we’d see a rash of < 10 employee startups being worth $1 billion, and to my knowledge that’s zero
- eranation 7mo agoWait a few mouths. Also, Cursor made Microsoft’s 2 year blow their lead (with GitHub Copilot) with just 30 employees.
- twistedpair 7mo agoHonestly, Copilot is the worst of the AI tools at this point. IDK how they lost that lead so handily.
- eranation 7mo agoI hate predictions, but when the dust settles, Copilot will take the lead. They are deep in the enterprise ecosystem, and they practically give it for free.
- vbezhenar 7mo ago> somehow working and testable code, And then 1x developer comes and rewrites it to actually work.
- eranation 7mo agoI know it sounds like a good take, but I don’t really see it happening much in real life anymore. It’s more like the 1x developer gets frustrated and defensive, and shows the 5 stages of grief, try using AI and finds all the reason why it’s bad. Then goes ahead and refactors everything and breaks production.
- guywithahat 7mo agoI’m at this point too. I desperately want to hate AI, but it’s so incredibly competent. People who say LLM’s aren’t good generally just aren’t good at them
