You make the mistake of disregarding tacit knowledge - the stuff that isn't in reports, docs, etc, etc because it's just "how we do things" and picked up on the job. Unless the AI is inserted into every conversation it w

I heard about someone once who could decide whether to buy a new t-shirt in less than 3 months.

But the issue isn't coding, it's doing the right thing. I don't see anywhere in your plan some way of staying aligned to core business strategy, forethought, etc. The number of devs will reduce but there will still be large a

I'll often run 4 or 5 agents in parallel. I review all the code. Some agents will be developing plans for the next feature, but there can sometimes be up to 4 coding. These are typically a mix between trivial bug fixes and 2 larger but

And yet someone has to actually tell the AI what to create. There's just no avoiding this. Anyway before this AI doomerism can become reality AI first needs the breakthrough of genuine understanding to stop making stupid mistakes. Imit

The biggest problem is the fact they DON'T clarify their stupid assumptions. The number of times I've seen them get the wrong end of the stick in their COT is ridiculous. Even when I tell them to only implement after my explicit a

I'm not surprised. I've seen Opus frequently come up with such weird reverse logic in its thinking.

What do people expect? You use an LLM, don't tell it your preferred writing style and get annoyed when it falls back to defaults. All those tropes have their place in certain contexts. AI overusing them is because they have no memory a

In the last month I've done 4 months of work. My output is what a team of 4 would have produced pre-AI (5 with scrum master). Just like you can't develop musical taste without writing and listening to a lot of music, you can'

Conde nast reported in the last few days their Web traffic is massively down too. Other big publishers have reported it themselves too. The web and SEO are dead.

I've been noticing elevated stupidity. "Do this" "User wants me to [do complete opposite]" Seems not to be as capable as a month ago.

There's no reason to put your real email in git config unless you're signing, in which case repos should be private. I would have thought that was obvious.

LOL. This entire thread basically reads why you should never build dev tools. It's difficult to find a more entitled, cheapskate bunch of people who are completely clueless about business. TIL it's "unfair" to sell a pro

Yes and look how far we've come in 4 years. If programming has another 4 that's all it has. I'm just not sure who will end up employed. The near state is obviously jira driven development where agents just pick up tasks from

Yeah same here. Even though it's vscode I'm still using it and don't plan to renew Intellij again. Gemini was crap but Opus smashes it. It is windsurf isn't it, why would you expect it to be different?
