#253This article is spot on. I had stumbled upon Kidlin’s Law—“If you can write down the problem clearly, you’re halfway to solving it”. This is a powerful guiding principle in today’s AI-driven world. As natural language becomes our primary interface with technology, clearly articulating challenges not only enhances our communication but also maximizes the potential of AI. The async approach to coding has been most fasc…
The challenge is that clearly stating things is and always has been the hard part. It’s awesome that we have tools which can translate clear natural language instructions into code but even if we get AGI you’ll still have to do that. Maybe you can save some time in the process by not having to fight with code as much but you’re still going to have to create really clear specs which, again, is the hard part.

Playing with your kids, aka increasing their IQ and investing in the future.
You won’t have time to do it; it’s naive and ridiculous to expect that businesses will just let people goof off for 7 hours a day.
Regardless of the output they generate.
Anyone who doesn’t believe this has never had to manage budgets and staff.
It’s the “AI utopia” people making vague hand wavey motions about post-scarcity.

I am hopeful that AI leads to a future with mandatory 10 hour work weeks.

this already started in 2022-23 with all the layoffs and "downsizing"
