Truth.

I posted something similar in yesterday's "Go Programmer's and AI" thread, and was ruthlessly modded down and trolled.

I've seen and benefitted from AI's capability. I'm not hiring because of it. I'm not outsourcing because of it. If you're not getting with the program, you will be left behind.

You want specifics? Fine.

CC has built no fewer than 4 modestly complicated NetSuite projects in the past 2 weeks. Custom Suitelet UI javascript. Custom Record and List definitions. REST API integrations. Implementation and Unit Test documentation. Just about everything I would bill (or pay) around $200 bucks an hour. And it works. Tens of thousands of dollars saved, for what, a $100 dollar Claude Pro subscription.

Remain in disbelief if you want, but your cheese is on the move.

Listen son: My original post, which was free of negativity, yet has done nothing but stir up fear and loathing. Disbelief is one of the first stages of the denial process. See you at acceptance.

Correction: Management and orchestration are all that will be left. ./npx get-shit-done-cc

For a glimpse of what's to come.

Claude can refactor your code a lot faster than you can correct your attitude, Mister Anonymous.

Deal with it.

I've been in this business for over 30 years. The output of Claude Code is orders of magnitude cheaper than consultants, employees, even the lowly off-shore developers working for peanuts.

It doesn't matter what programming language. It doesn't matter what application. The platform is irrelevant. The complexity is even less of a factor. This isn't hype or fear; it's the new reality.

The last IT skill all you guys may ever learn is how to wield AI.

1. Who benefits? Intelligence agencies. Namely, CIA and Mossad.
2. How do they benefit? Video evidence of powerful and influential figures schtupping eastern European women and underage girls.
3. Why do they benefit? The leverage they have over the above figures is incredible and sickeningly valuable.

4. So...who are the real criminals that need prosecution? See who benefits in item 1. They orchestrated, financed, and perpetuated it. US Attorney Acosta cut Epstein the sweetheart deal because "he belonged to intelligence." Nuff said.

Everyone else, Gates, Clinton, Minsky, even Andrew is collateral damage.

Ex-smoker here as well, so color me biased. It only took me 15 years to quit the stuff.

Arguably, it's tougher to quit than meth.

...the solution is for an AI Agent to represent her/it.

Yeah, all two of them.

What do we want? Faster than light travel!

When do we want it? It's irrelative!

(Sorry)

Not an outright Zuck hater here, but is this really news?

Seriously. I'm no AI scientist, but when humans run for days on end, hallucinations and paranoid delusions reign.

What's needed us some downtime, garbage collection, and reweighting. Then tackle the day anew like the rest of us.

That sounds like the Private Equity playbook to me.
