I don't agree at all for these coding models. Even the most anti-AI people from last year seem to be giving in to using them.

I am noticing a shift here too, those that were its biggest critics have gotten more silent, I guess they do have some small amount of self awareness and shame left, which is always a good thing.

I think there is an exception for tooling around the models/integrating the models with tooling. That seems to have been very well received in this last year.

My take from going through comments on HN is that many people are being mandated to use them, not that they are just giving in. Maybe I'm misreading, but that was my impression.

  • Both can be true, even for the same person.

    For example, it's being pushed pretty hard where I'm at, though not quite on the tokenmaxxer level. I started skipping related meetings cause it was nauseating. I can only tolerate so many platitudes.

    At the same time, I just used the ever living snot out of Opus 4.6 for hours, grinning like an idiot throughout. Automated a whole bunch of enterprise cross-system drudgery away.

    Fairly constant over time as well. Expressed a similar sentiment not too long ago here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48154277
