Sure, but it's nothing new - CMSes, website builders, no-code platforms, code generators - AI on top of a website builder can really help and it does help. But not building operating systems or Word from scratch for every person or com

>> industry being unable to scale LLMs past their current point 100% bet - no way any "AI" will be able to generate you anything close to a complex piece of software like Ms Word within reasonable time and budget. Given i

Well he said - anyone can (or will soon) vibe-program their own MS Word - there is no way he is a programmer, sorry. The complexity of these systems is crazy. Unless he meant ah HTML text area with "save" button - then sure, why n

100%, it's like with "Suno" - everyone can create a good quality music/song basically in 2-3 minutes (and vibe programming can only do.... nothing in a few minutes) - how many new great bands and musicions we got )))))

Your comment raises several interconnected philosophical, ethical, and socio-economic points, and it is useful to disentangle them systematically. First, the observation that incompleteness is inherent in entropy-bound physical systems is c

They write as if there is unlimited budget but it is never is. There is a range and you'd better fit into it. Also if you think you are at the top of a market range already and the hiring company thinks it's too early to discuss -

It's not math, it's pressure down the chain of command - you had to be outsourcing or at least trying to. Same as now - you have to be trying to "AI" and report improvements as this is what everyone wants to hear.

Is amex still alive? The worst company I dealt with - both professionally for data integration and personally took me a year to make them fix their own mistakes and close my accounts.

I don't know this guy's abilities so can't comment on that, but looking at how much AI companies spend on marketing - that's a great hire.

I like your optimism but no - you are still hired via "excels at hackerrank", every big tech company first interview is exactly this, no matter how many projects your delivered and how useful you are/were at you previous job.

So true, as a mere software developer on a payroll: I might spend 10 minutes doing a task with AI rather than an hour (w/o AI), but trust me - I am going to keep 50 minutes to myself, not deliver 5 more tasks )))) And when I work on my
