Maybe you're the exception and are actually doing it right and actually getting good results, but every time I have heard this, it has been an ignorance-is-bliss scenario where the person saying it is generating massive amounts of code

NOOO you have to use my shitpile of nested yaml with the same dependency sprawl cancer as modern javascript. You can't just upload a binary to your own servers and host it there you need to overthink everything and make an extremely si

What's a more reasonable general approach then? Let's say you're a team of 1-3 technical people building something as an MVP, but don't necessarily want to throw everything away and rewrite or re-architect if it gets tra

Correct me if I'm off base but these things (protein folding and drug discovery) both existed before AI, no? The implication of your comment seemed to be that this was going to be so much more than replacing people. But I fail to see h
