> The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero Didn’t realize this was science fiction.
I think the author forgot that code has to compile and be useful. And how much is technical debt worth?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I beg to differ. Let's say you're right. Code producers should turn to agriculture and let their managers and product owners prompt AI to produce code. How about code maintainers? Ever heard the mantra "You build it, you run it"? Lets say that AI can build it. Can it run it though? All alone, safely, securely and reliably? No. It can't. We can keep dreaming though, and when will AI code production services turn profi…
Calm down buddy, maybe you're confusing code producers with something else. It's 2026 we don't bother with maintenance no more, we /new to keep context clean and start over. Just don't forget to comment - never delete - old code. Always keep dead code around to please shareholders, line numbers up always. We produce code, that is the main thing, never forget. One could argue we could achieve the same goals by appendi…
> The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero Didn’t realize this was science fiction.
But it is true, the cost is effectively zero. There will be, for a long time, free models available and any one of them will give you code back, always! They never refuse. Worst case scenario the good models ask for clarification. The cost for producing code is zero and code producers are in a really bad spot.
> The cost of turning written business logic into code has dropped to zero Tokens are free now?
Yes. Every platform offers free tokens generously. That is a true statement. Might not be much, but is enough for you to produce some code and shit out a readme and then show on hacker news that your capable of pushing to git with the help of llms
Sure, the tiny rushes of dopamine are free, but that's just enough to get your foot into the door and pretty soon they won't hit the same. If you don't quit while you're ahead, it's either gonna financially ruin you or turn you into a zombie that never uses its brain for an extended period of time and you end up writing posts like this one to self-rationalise your completely irrational behaviour because you've been scared into thinking your career is gonna be ruined if you don't keep diving head-first into this addiction.
Not a coincidence that this is happening at the same time as "bet on anything" apps.

AI misinformation? Please do provide some examples. Your whole history is AI psychosis btw, seek help.
> AI misinformation? Please do provide some examples. Like saying they can't generate compiling code in this very thread?
