Hundreds of comments. Some say LLMs are the future. Others say they don't work today and they won't work tomorrow.

Videogame speed running has this problem solved. Livestream your 10x engineer LLM usage, a git commit annotated with it's prompt per change. Then everyone will see the result.

This doesn't seem like an area of debate. No complicated diagrams required. Just run the experiment and show the result.

AI Coding is becoming an edge, and sharing your edge isn't the wisest thing to do, even more so when doubt is so prevalent!

I see all the negative responses, but this seems true to me. I am old enough to remember the dot com days and could see the transformative effect of the Internet from miles away when I was a teenager. Yet many, many people refused to acknowledge that someday soon we would do things like credit card transactions online, or that people might buy shoes without trying them on first, etc.

You could say it is a lack of imagination or not connecting the dots, but I think there is a more human reason. A lot of people don't want the disruption and are happy with the status quo. I'm a software engineer so I know how problematic AI may be for my job, but I think anyone who looks at our current state and the recent improvements should be able to see the writing on the wall here.

I for one am more curious than afraid of AI, because I have always felt that writing code was the worst part of being a programmer. I am much happier building product or solving interesting problems than tracking down elusive bugs or refactoring old codebases.
