And it takes years of doing it the ‘old way’ to build intuition.

Many firms are implicitly assuming the models will keep improving to the point where all these problems go away. But what if they don’t?

The problem with this argument is that it shouldn’t take years for these developments to come about anymore. The world is incredibly interconnected via the web - it also explains ChatGPT’s explosive growth. To claim people aren’t trying would be comical - where there’s an opportunity to generate economic profits competition for it will be intense.

The best we have external to model producers is cursor and openclaw lmao. The gap between hype and reality is disgustingly large.

There’s a difference between the engineer getting value and the firm.

It can be true that the engineer is more productive but the end result is the firm is in a net negative state.

Many here don’t really get what a software firm is, do they?

These people are deluded and have never operated a business enterprise themselves.
