I feel like collectively we should just stop talking about this and speculating and just see what happens in a year.

Is programming obsolete, or is it needed more then ever becasue we need to fix all the crap generated. Let's just all follow up at the end of the year.

Itll be quiet though if we're still hand writing code though I think

Hasn't AI been annoying the piss out of us for well over a year now? I've definitely been hearing "10x productivity" for that long.

So - where is it all? Where's all the 10 years of software dev that happened over the last year? Where's the companies blowing their competitors out of the water by compressing a decade of production into a year?

The proof is in the pudding. Or lack thereof. If the claims were anything like they say, we'd see something by now.

I think agents and claude code was only last summer. It does feel like a long time though.
