TL;DR Its never a good idea and it will bite you.

At least thats what I tell my kids.
Does discimer “no tokens were used” mean anything ?
Thats enough to see how much AI crowd cares about security.
Currently we can live with it because someone can review that work. Soon we wont be able.
If work can be offloaded to machines and thinking to agents.. there is no need to keep this thing we call society.
Its way way cheaper and faster to build highly guarded enclaves to fance off from worse part of humans.
Ppl at the top dont even think about us as real humans. We are sub spieces to them.
Elyzium is more probable future for us. This or civil war and big reset. Depends who wins.
Thankfully most of those things are a very small percent of my overall work.
If its a big percent of your work -> you are in trouble friend.
Its already proven based on previous specification laws.
Hilarious as it sounds its true. We can make “any” code a public domain woth LLMs.
Second biggest car manufacturer in Europe says that noone here wants electric cars.
Like I said - ppl with homes and Solar Panel Stack will buy electric cars and for them its amazing deal - if subsidised - even better.
But for average Joe (95% of citizens) this is simply out of reach.
Europe has energy deficit. When most ppl want to charge their cars (night) there is no solar power. We have no energy banks and all that power needed to supposedly charge tens of millions of cars would have to come from? Yes -> coal power plants, because our politicians decommissioned nuclear power plants. Lets tak about what is NOW and what can be in next 10 years.
In the coming 10 years vast majority of ppl still wont have passive homes with solar panels and energy banks to charge their cars, so they are 100% dependant on the grid.
Grid is old and not well maintained in majority of EU countries. It has finite transfer power.
Now we throw 500million cars on top of it. Its impossible mathematically and physically.
The moment number of electric cars starts growing, we will need more and more energy, this means more fuel for plants, more plants investitions, more grid investitions etc. It all costs money. So energy companies will bill you MORE and more. If not energy cost protections in countries like Poland or Italy, cost of energy would double next day.
Its all subsidised now, due to war, no fuel, Iran and many other reasons I already mentioned.
So overall its worth it ONLY due to subs and it can be worth it if we invest into our infrastructure for the next 30-50 years.
As it is now - its all just a hoax.
Fast forward, fire half of those ppl, for sure fire all middle managers, scrum masters, coaches, wooden-architects.
Suddenly you save up so much time on syncing, you can ship twice as fast.
And NO, quality and impact doesnt go down. It actually goes up.
This is probably something you did not want to hear :)
Few competent ppl with AI are much much much better than dozens of medicore teams.
We need now „Product Builders” and „Product maintainers”. All of the other roles lost value.
The moment subsidiary for EVs is removed, sales will plument like in US. And those will be removed as EU is going through energy and resources crisis.
EVs make sense only in China, where goverment has a working brain and invests heavly in nuclear power plants.
The reason why powerplants have to be strategically distributed around the country and have to consist of multiple different power geration sources.
Cyting Germany’s cancelor „Going full green was a strategic mistake”
Ps. Heat pump is as effective as the heat source it can use..
2) To have solar installation you have to abaid to painfully stupid legistlation
3) In winter pump is as green as the diesel generator that produces energy for it to run
This only exposes human nature.
Talent and skill is for sure not the reason, coz biggest names now seem to all be immigrants.
Human retain knowledge, product knowledge, can pick up more work often for the same money. And having many of them means your business wont go down if provider suddenly bumps API pricing.
I would say its a x1000 increase in price for agentic workflows.
Slapping AI on everything is easy in comparison. And mentioning AI to investors makes them drop pants.
