AI is going to change software engineering. But its also expensive. The next few years will be about trying to reconcile these two things.

why does it sound like the crux of your argument against Ed is "why is he evolving his position"? Are we supposed to respect someone less for not being dogmatic and holding onto an opinion against mounting evidence?

What about first mover advantage though? Some people believe it's all about being first to market then let others have to convince people to switch to their products. I also think velocity won't matter. But I don't think the companies pushing their employees to use AI are thinking of anything other than "others are using AI and moving fast therefore we need to keep up".

My favourite by far was Adam Becker's More Everything Forever.

Special mention also goes to Taming Silicon Valley by Gary Marcus.
