I agree with the article in its entirety, but its just so easy to play devil's advocate here. There might actually be a large value add to companies who replace poor performing employees with AI. So, who are the low versus high performing employees?
The largest problem with software employment is defining software developer performance. There is no industry baseline for defining or measuring this. Its so easy for a person to be that 10x (or much greater) developer in a compatible team or be a complete failure on the wrong team.
- squidbeak 5mo agoThe problem for high-performing developers (even the elitest) is that over a long enough time scale, they won't be remotely competitive with high performing AI. At the moment we need human operators to guide and supervise these AIs, but unless the tech's progress grinds to a halt for some unforeseeable reason, it won't be this way for long.
- austin-cheney 5mo agoI know this is a common belief, but its an assumption lacking evidence.
- HDThoreaun 5mo agoAssumption, sure. Lacking evidence, though? I see tons of evidence. Circumstantial sure, but it's not exactly a claim out of the blue. In 5 years these things have gone from economically worthless toys to very competent replacements for juniors. Maybe the improvement stops, but that would be an assumption without evidence.
