It's not awesome, not for us. 30% productivity gain would be enormous. Just imagine 30% of developers losing their jobs, in addition to outsourcing and all the new graduates flooding out of colleges after CS has been hyped so much in the recent years.
replyI really doubt that 30% productivity gain would result in 30% developers losing their jobs. Believing this would require an assumption that businesses and economies will never grow.
replyDo you know how many 30% productivity gains I’ve seen over the last 25 years? How many people before me saw in the 25 years before that?
replyAnd? Nothing you can do against it.
replyIT and coding was a good carrier for a long time, but times are changing.
> It's not awesome, not for us.
replyDepends on where you stand. Maybe leet code won't be a common thing (can be solved with AI), maybe they'll look for different skills, etc.
If losing 30% means hiring the right people for the job you might have better chances. For a long time these were never aligned properly.
