u cant compare productivity to games on the metric of bring joy - ofc productivity tool isn't bring joy like a game does.

how come? this is a very weird take- why is the focus on ppl suffering instead of like fairness or capital / market efficiency ?

Would you explain this - " I'm starting to think we would get more done if nobody on my team used Copilot." ?

Interesting to see if you why you see it destructive. I can certainly see that a lot of the times, copiloted solutions are working but less than ideal

don't agree with your logic at all - agree with your conclusion. your logic is deeply flawed - a) you've to justify mediocre engineers not been necessary, the mechanism they are pushed out by LLM matters. b) relative ranking is useless - it's the difference between absolute ability and that is close for say top 50% most likely. This might mean half of us will lose jobs, and half see compensation pressured but it's not as certain as your argument make it out to be.

if it helps - i strongly agree with you

it's actually easy to be turing complete. it's a feat for a system to be non-turing complete and be "complex".

does your pricing take account of cached vs uncached token?

they are doing it through state investment vehicles - so it's in the same way US companies can (but won't)

is it a net-win for the company? Are the AI-TOD any good?

Sometimes, yes. Other times, no. It depends who's leveraging the technology to write these things. Though even in the positive outcome cases, the volume alone is suffocating. My brain doesn't have time to commit all of it.

what would you say the disconnect was? Was it a simple case of that your teams' not comfortable with merging AI code?

Or maybe the AI tools don't do what the advertising says they do.

Well if knowing what to build is still the moat, then at least someone knowing that that was _actually_ built is still super important, no?
