Absurd take. Speed is not the issue! Optimising for speed of production is what got us into the utter quagmire that is modern software.
Lack of correctness, lack of understanding and ability to reason about behaviour, and poor design that builds up from commercial pressure to move quickly are the problems we need to be solving. We’re accelerating the rate at which we add levels to a building with utterly rotten foundations.
God damn it, I’m growing to loathe this industry.

So good developers will become amazing with the assistance of ai while the rest will become unemployed and find work elsewhere. So we are healing the industry. Because without ai. The industry is a hell of a lot worse. You only have to look at the replies on HN to see how laughable the industry is.
Here, for heck's and history's sake, I'm replying to exactly a 1/2 of all HN laughingstock.
