> and then you spend 80% of the time to get the rest of the 20% done

This was my pr-AI experience anyway, so getting that first chunk of time back is helpful.

Related: One of the better takes I've seen on AI from an experienced developer was, "90% of my skills just became worthless, and the other 10% just became 1,000 times more valuable." There's some hyperbole there, I but I like the gist.

It’s not funny when you find yourself redoing the first 80%, as the only way to complete the second 80%.

Let us know if that dev you're talking about winds up working 90% less for the same amount, or earning 1000x more

Otherwise he can shut the fuck up about being 1000x more valuable imo
