>Why there are so many people that still believe that AI coding is a fad?
Because there's not a single piece of evidence that this has improved the quality of the delivered software, or for that matter even the speed of features any of these companies produce, in fact if anything the opposite.
The point of software development, the hint is in the name, is to develop software, not consume tokens. If Uber was now full of 10x engineers the stock price of Uber would be up, not down on a yearly basis. Hilariously enough the only company whose stock price is up appears to be Antrophic
I don't believe that the quality is the best metric for these companies. I doubt that Google has top-notch code quality in every product they developed, but it does not matter if they are making billions per month. Furthermore, I honestly believe that the quality stayed the same, at least.
How dare you mention evidence! This isn't engineering you know!
