I love how people like Simon Willison and Pete Steinberger spend all this effort trying to be skeptical of their own experiences and arrive at nuanced takes like “50% more productive, but that’s actually a pretty big deal, but the nature of the increase is complicated” and y’all just keep repeating the brainrotted “100x, juniors are cooked” quote you heard someone say on LinkedIn.

AI gives you what you ask for. If you don't understand your true problems, and you ask it to solve the wrong problems, it doesn't matter how much compute you burn, you're still gonna fail.
