As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them. Models keep getting better, programmers are being laid off left and right. We’ve been repeatedly told that AI will write 100% of the code by the end of the year. Whether that’s true or not, this may not be the best time to sit back.

      I’ve spoken to two friends recently, who are just normal (but highly skilled) devs, and they both said they don’t write code any more.

      That’s about as random a sample as I can get. These aren’t Anthropic employees on Twitter. Just normal people.

      So if you think AI isn’t revolutionising how software is made then I’m afraid you’re in the “it’s just Apple fanboys buying the iPhone; Nokia forever!” stage of denial.
