We get it, the future can't come fast enough for you. Code is a commodity and the only important thing is scale. Congratulations on leapfrogging the midwits on the path to the C-suite!
replyCorrect code is not cheap. And some places you need a very correct code. Like in mission critical systems.
replyHow many people on HN work on mission critical systems? The discussion is not currently constrained to that. I agree, but the exception proves the rule.
replyDefine "mission critical" and then maybe we can come up with a reasonable estimate.
replyDid I say anything about tech debt? What's the point of "ship, ship, ship" if AI will be able to do it in a couple of years? Don't you see where this is going? We're rapidly losing our ability to think.
replyThe point of "ship, ship, ship" is to cash in (in terms of your career or company) before AGI renders you jobless.
replyIf we get to post-scarcity you never needed the money. But if we end up in some dystopian hellhole where people have no jobs but capitalism still exists, you'll be thankful.
