No one shrugs off 5x like brushing one's teeth in the morning. That makes no sense.

Because, among other claims, "5x now or you're fired!" is completely ridiculous.

I think I'll keep defaulting to critical thinking rather than some kinda pseudo-religious "crossing the bridge" talk.

I have a hard time trusting the judgement of someone writing this: > I no longer write code. I’ve been a swe for over a decade. AI writes all my code following my instructions. My code output is now expected to be 5x what it was before b

1. No, I haven't suggested financial interest. There are plenty of non-financial ones on this forum. 2. True, I challenged the person's bias considering extraordinary historical comments lacking extraordinary evidence.

I understand that you've convinced yourself that progress is inevitable. I'll ponder over it on my commute to Mars. Oh wait, that was still on the tele.

Thanks! I recommend not reading all comments literally. We have a significant hype bubble atm and I'm not exactly alone in thinking how crazy it is. I think you can draw a connection from my exasperated statement to that if you really

Such a typical HN "gotcha!".

If I have a horse and plow and you show up with a tractor, I will no doubt get a tractor asap. But if you show up with novel amphetamines for you and your horse and scream "Look how productive I am! We'll figure out the long-term

You're comment history suggests a pro-AI bias on par with AI companies. I don't understand it. It seems like critical thinking, nuance, and just basic caution have been turned off like a light-switch for far too many people.

The most complex thing to support is peoples' resumes. If carpenters were incentivized like software devs are, we'd quickly start seeing multi-story garden sheds in reinforced concrete because every carpenters dream job at Bunkers

It will be interesting to see how quickly people & media will suddenly go "Well, actually Venezuela is a problem" or similarly spineless turnaround.

Like many things in dev it sounds sooo good on the surface, but is a minefield in practice (Brandolini's law + The Iron Law of Bureaucracy for starters). I'd only advocate it in a very carefully curated team.

Here be dragons. People trying to pattern-match their problems to design patterns can waste a lot of time and effort over many years. Use responsibly.

“like it's some sort of established fact” -> “My understanding”?! a.k.a pure speculation. Some of you AI fans really need to read your posts out loud before posting them.

But it seems like that could happen faster internally than publicly?

I've seen a few of these seemingly random acquisitions lately, and I congratulate the companies and individuals that are acquired during this gold rush, but it definitely feels awkwardly artificial.

That also means a much larger team and great possibilities for good perf reviews, so basically an excellent outcome in a corporate env. People follow incentives.

I honestly believe that the people involved likely already wanted to move over to React/SPAs for one reason or another, and were mostly just searching for excuses to do so - hence these kind of vague and seemingly disproportional reaso
