For some of us, the world has already changed drastically. I am shipping more code, better code, less buggy code WAY faster than ever before. Big systemic changes for the better to our infra as well. There are days where I easily do 2 weeks worth of my best work ever.

I totally understand that not everyone is having that experience. And yet until people live it, it seems they just discount the experience others are having.

I'll take the 12 month bet.

It's clearly relative. For all we know you're a crap coder and AI is now your crutch. We have no evidence that with AI you are as good as an average developer with a fair amount of experience. And even if you do have a fair amount of experience, that doesn't mean you're a good coder.

Exactly lol.

The iPod project was done in months, not years. Im convinced most people aren't as good at programming / focusing on the right stuff as they claim.

Cool, and you're doing it on top of the single largest IP hijacking in the history of the world, a massive uptick in infra spend and energy burn to "just throw more compute" at it instead of figuring out how to throw "the right compute at it", cannibalization of the onboarding graduates, and losing having enough friction to keep you from running off after what's probably a bad idea on further analysis, because you can crank this out in a weekend. Last time somewhat did that, we got fucking JS. We still haven't rid ourselves of it.

Let us not lose sight of how we got here.
