The bottleneck is and always has been writing good code, so reviewing is as important as ever. Interestingly enough, LLMs help tremendously with writing code but severely impact writing good code, so nothing has changed.
I find this the least convincing argument ever. Its only a gotcha if you assume all/most of the people excited about one were excited about the other. Personally I never met a real person who gave a shit about crypto, much less nfts. But AI interest is everywhere, with it roughly 50/50 in my life of people who are uneasy with it vs use it regularly.
I don't disagree about monumentous amounts of tech debt and risk being created. Its my hope for my own job and skills being relevant going into the future. I do like playing with it, understanding it as a tool. But it is just a tool, not a machine god, and regularly fallible.
Actually I met one guy who was somehow deep in NFTS when this Boring-Ape-NFT took off and he told me how much money he has now (on paper) - then they were vaporized and he lost everything.
I was a doubter. This will literally work 100x faster than you. It can one-shot 1kLOC across dozens of files in mere minutes and understand the context.
You'll need to pay back a lot of those performance gains in reviewing the code, but the overall delta is a 2x speedup at minimum. I'd say it's closer to 4x. You can get a week's worth of work done in a day.
A human context switches too much and cannot physically keep up with these models. We're at the chess take off moment. We're still good at reviewing and steering.
Yep, very meaningful difference indeed. It's not like professionals have ever have had a vested interest to spread misinformation to shill a product.
It's not like there were ads with real doctors recommending Camel cigarettes.
It's not like the browser "breakthrough" recently which pulled 300 OSS dependencies together, removed attribution and called the mess "working".
The desperation of the Samas, Musks, Satyas and Anthropics of this world and their fanbase to paint marginal 0.0001337% improvements in a gamed SWE ranking as something worth any attention is just delicious. Opus 4.6? Please, more like Opus 4.5.0.2-RC. All I hear is the sound of a bubble going pop. Delightful.

I see it more as dumpster fire setting a whole mountain of garbage on fire while a bunch of simians look at the flames and make astonished wuga wuga noises.
Thoroughly answering somebody's questions and refuting their points is not appropriate for this forum?
We should all agree with each other and sing along how lucky Venezuelans are that US, the self proclaimed world police, came to steal their oil and bomb their capital (terrorism/war crime)?
US going full terrorist/Russia at the same time is fun to watch.
A "military operation" in another country's territory (without declaring war, like a coward) and entering their capital is the same as ICC wanted military criminal Putin did to Ukraine.
Finance ministers are concerned about a made up marketing hype thing that nobody has seen nor verified.
Finance ministers, on the other hand, have no concerns about real verified scientific impending disasters like global warming?
To me that just means we need different finance ministers who have their priorities straight.
