If you believe that "ai" makes you 10x (or 50x!) more productive, what this tells me is that you are utterly useless and I'd be better served hiring or working with just about anyone else (though ideally someone with critical thinking skills and an interest in actually learning things).
@swetland I think the people infected with that brainbug think "well I didn't type the actual code, so I must be much more productive", and totally ignoring how often they had to pull the slot-machine's arm to get anywhere near useful results.
Aug 10, 2026, 9:57 AM@david_chisnall @swetland Yeah, definitely, I was more thinking of “famous” devs that seem to mostly work on solo projects.
If devs were more unionised they could demand not having to review slop, which might make the pain more obvious.
