New comment by frays in "Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated"

frays — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 14:03:29 +0000

Last fall it was 50%. Now it's 75%.

Google still somehow has 190,000 employees though. I'd be interested in seeing if the total lines of code output is actually any different (acknowledging that this is not a good metric in itself, still just curious).

This is a use case of AI image generation that's actually a positive for society.

New comment by frays in "Rumor: Anthropic is going to buy Atlassian?"

frays — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 19:50:52 +0000

Anthropic's current valuation is $800 billion.

Atlassian's is $19 billion.

Is Anthropic really worth 40x Atlassian? If so, is it worth them spending just 2.5% of their valuation to acquire Atlassian's 300,000 enterprise customers?

I would be very bullish if this were to happen.

New comment by frays in "We mourn our craft"

frays — Sat, 07 Feb 2026 20:30:52 +0000

The majority of the code currently running in production for my company was written 5+ years ago. This was all "hand-written" and much lower quality than the AI generated code that I am generating and deploying these days.

Yet I feel much more connected with my old code. I really enjoyed actually writing all that code even though it wasn't the best.

If AI tools had existing 5 years ago when I first started working on this codebase, obviously the code quality would've been much higher. However, I feel like I really loved writing my old code and if given the same opportunity to start over, I would want to rewrite this code myself all over again.

New comment by frays in "Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too"

frays — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 20:27:09 +0000

I don't understand the hate for Meta's attempt at the metaverse.

Since when do we criticize companies for actually doing R&D? We should be striving to build novel technologies, not just maintaining the status quo.

Even if the project 'failed' for now, the engineering lessons learned are valuable assets that will transfer to whatever problem those teams solve next (whether at Meta or elsewhere).

It's amazing to think that in the next few years, we may have software engineers entering the workforce who don't know what StackOverflow is...

Interesting to see that you work at OpenAI but had to build a skill like this yourself.

Surprised that you don't have internal tools or skills that could do this already!

Shows how much more work there is still to be done in this space.

This is the result of Google's Windsurf acquisition.

I expect huge improvements are still to be made.
