Did the hype cycle not have an impact on employment with the various layoffs? Or is this and admission that the layoffs were for other reasons and were just attributed to AI?
I’m not surprised about productivity though. Efficiency gains are limited by the actual bottlenecks. And truthfully, I think people are deluding themselves a bit about how effective vibe coding is and how much faster they are actually moving when you consider developers still need to form an understanding of the codebase and its systems.
Outside of coding, is there really a use case for LLMs that has the potential to make big efficiency gains? Idk.
- smalltorch 6mo agoI've found the best way for me to wield it is the tool to build tools. I would have never in a million years been able to code. But I've used it to replace things I was paying hefty monthly subscriptions for.... So I'm not actually being more productive, but I've cut my costs significantly to do the same things I could do before.
- slopinthebag 6mo agoI thought I would do this, but of all the vibe coded tools I've built, I think I still use...one. The rest are just not worth the upkeep relative to the utility, or are either broken functionally or in their UX and I can't be arsed to put the effort into making them good. Which brings up why these tools didn't really exist in the first place. Of course ymmv, and if you find yourself paying subscriptions for stuff you can replace with vibe coded apps, all power to you.
