Not to be that agentic coding guy, but I think this will become less of a problem than our historic biases suggest.
For context, I just built a streaming markdown renderer in Swift because there wasn’t an existing open source package that met my needs, something that would have taken me weeks/months previously (I’m not a Swift dev).
Porting all the C libraries you need isn’t necessarily an overnight task, but it’s no longer an insurmountable mountain in terms of dev time.
- MattDamonSpace 6mo agoMy favorite part is the AI will still estimate projects in human-time. “You’re looking at a multi-week refactor” aaaaand it’s done
- nothinkjustai 6mo agoYeah lol. “I estimate this will take 15-20 days” I do it in like 5 hours lol
- buzzerbetrayed 6mo agoVery high quality comment that is being downvoted unfairly because it defends AI. HN is on the wrong side of history on this one.
- inunuftbkj 6mo agoNah. We’re right on the money with this one. AI is a nice tool to have available, but you AI nuts are the ones being voluntarily and gladly fed the whole “you’re a bazillion times more productive with our AI!!!!” marketing spiel. It’s a nice tool, nothing more, nothing less. Anything else is marketing nonsense.
