I really just don't believe it. I have not met anyone in tech who writes zero code now. The idea that no one at Google writes any code is such a huge claim it requires extraordinary evidence. Which none ever gets presented.
- SpicyLemonZest 7mo agoI'm surprised to hear that. One of us is in a bubble, and I'm genuinely not sure who. I have not met anyone in tech (including multiple people at Google) who does still write code. I've been recreationally interested in AI for a long time, which is a potential source of skew I suppose, but I do not and most people in my circles do not work on anything directly related to AI.
- Toutouxc 7mo agoStatistically, knowing multiple people at Google is, IMO, a pretty good sign you're in a bubble. Unless you know a few thousand other software developers.
- SpicyLemonZest 7mo agoAn entirely fair point that I really ought to keep in mind more often. Thanks for keeping me honest.
- solenoid0937 7mo agoCan confirm that basically no one at Google or Meta hand writes code outside extremely extremely niche projects
- baq 7mo agoAnecdotally me and my colleagues haven’t written a substantial line of code since January and this isn’t a mag7; I would be very surprised if mag7 were writing anything by hand unless it’s a custom DSL.
