>i'm going to change your diaper and burp you
>Carlito is a very good boy Go piss in your diaper you big baby
>He doesn't care. He is a big baby who filled up his diaper with pee pee and poo poo
>you are a big baby and i am going to change your diaper and burp you >To be clear I call executives of multi trillion dollar companies scumbags and if you can't deal with that I'm not sure what to do. Burp you? Change your diaper?
>I am going to change your diaper and burp you

>Yeah because you're a big baby with a big full diaper

Half of developers are below average. Half of developers say that the code Ai produces is amazing. Would you like a venn diagram?
You’re saying that AI is already good enough to replace 50% of developers. Sounds like you agree it will be very important.

>His argument has never been "this tech doesn't work", but rather "these businesses aren't economically viable" Why? because of cost?
Cost, debt, difficulty forming a moat, gap between what the product promises and what it can do, and the difficulty actually raising capital required. His style is acerbic and (imo) excessive sometimes. But he's also one of a minority of journos actually looking at the numbers and adding them up. Which seems to be a rarity
The financial market things are over my head and I don't have a dog in the game, but I think "Nobody is replacing salesforce with their internally vibe coded software" is just false? Both taken literally [0] [1] and as denying the general trend. Just in my company we already replaced WMS software subscription with own solution, and I wouldn't be able to write it fast enough and maintain it by myself without the use o…

cost is going down 20x, 30x over the years so he's wrong about this.
And why is the error bar so large?
The original memo: https://www.citriniresearch.com/p/2028gic HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47114579
All I know is, whenever I read testimonies from people whose companies suddenly decided to force LLM usage for productivity to be "AI first", having colleagues opening PR's who are only machine reviewed with implementations they cannot justify themselves outside of "Claude wrote it", makes me burnout just reading them. And it's only going to get worse until it becomes better, but not for the developers.
Honestly, the one thing that I could see justify all the investment companies make for LLM-assisted coding is the full automation of software production. I can only see the current state of things as the "end game" for them, only if they suddenly decide to jack up pricing to tap directly on the corporate budget and not the individual developer's budget.

I didn't think something could be worse than everyone using Salesforce, but everyone using a different, constantly broken, incompatible SF clone that no one understands may be that.

Those are very large reductions - can I ask you for a source? And why is the error bar so large?
> The rate of decline varies dramatically depending on the performance milestone, ranging from 9x to 900x per year
I do enjoy a good Ed Zitron sneer. The fact that the original article moved markets says a lot about the critical thinking skills of stock market traders.
You should look into how he destroyed the small indie MMO Darkfall and gave the game 2/10 without ever playing it, in a Eurogamer review a few years ago. The developers had receipts and could prove that he hadn't played it. It doesn't have any material effect on this article, but it says something about his ethics.
