For anyone not clicking through the link: it's from 5 months ago, predicting 90% of today's code will be from LLMs.

>I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code.

They're going to keep saying it because it's a juicy sound bite and they're sales people. That doesn't make it any more true than "9 out of 10 dentists recommend our socks" or how we surely have all had flying cars for decades now.

By sheer volume, that 90% number might be right.

    I agree. The level of dilution is becoming obvious and a big problem... code is becoming predominantly disposable

    Despite the article being salesmanship hype ( at WEF no less ) we are now in the time mentioned, and can feel this

    The idea that the code is GOOD or even being used is not necessary to be saying that it exists, strewn everywhere

I had a week where I embraced and went deep on ai first coding (not vibe, that'd be crazy)

The thing wrote at least 80%, so we aren't far off in this anecdotal instance. There are citizen devs who are building fun things for themselves where the AI does 100%

It made me realize these things are more capable than I knew, though they still do dumb stuff reliably. But, it is easy to undo those changes, so the productivity boost remains
