This isn’t the narrative, at least in any circle I speak to. The narrative is currently that everyone needs to strive to be using hundreds of dollars of tokens a day or you aren’t being effective enough. Executives are mulling getting rid of code review and tests. I’ve never seen such blind optimism and so little appreciation for how things can go wrong.

Even if AI progress plateaus, I'm confident we would build tooling and patterns around the current models that would surpass hand crafted equivalents.
