Quantity maybe, quality? Doubtful. A lot of hobby projects end up being way better than corporate stuff because they're made with passion instead of by cynical grifters trying to squeeze every cent of ad revenue out of users. Compare

The "AI" Drake/The Weeknd song was not created by AI -- it used AI voice synthesis to recreate Drake/The Weeknd's vocals on top of a human-created song. If you're considering that to be AI-generated, I would

You're missing the point of comparison -- fully autonomous vehicles have been a year away for 15 years now. Much like generative AI will be a year away from making artists obsolete for the next 15 years. Forget replacing Hollywood and

Shamed by whom? And how can those people tell you're using LLMs? Is it possible that whatever output you're producing with LLMs isn't very good?

I do agree. It's hard to get an unbiased assessment of how many developers are actually using generative AI (copilot/chatgpt) for work, and in what capacity they do use them. Anecdotally, at my org of ~40 devs, we encouraged eve

I agree with you, autocomplete definitely isn't the only reason for static typing making a comeback and dynamic language popularity dying off (and the big legacy names like Javascript and Python have Typescript and mypy/pyright to

Comparing generative AI favorably to crypto is an odd choice, given that crypto and blockchain are the poster children for "massively overhyped tech that led to absolutely nothing."

In a lot of ways, yeah. Autocomplete is an absolute game changer and one of the biggest reasons that static typing came back in vogue and crushed dynamic languages. Massive productivity gains when you can ctrl+space and see all of the metho

The fact that anything is decreasing at all, when prices were continually increasing 20% YoY for a decade, is definitely an effect.

I don't understand what you mean. The 4-6% URA target is for continually managing out low performing employees. It may not be the most effective way, but that is the intent. It has nothing to do with resourcing departments properly; th
