   Code generation tools fix the problem of software development being slow and expensive in much the same way that faster cars fix traffic congestion.

     “Why is it that all the success stories of AI increasing ‘developer productivity’ to extreme degrees are always reported from a corporate context? Where are the open source projects that used to have 10 features commited per month, and now have 50? Or even just 20? These claims should be easy as hell to prove given how few industries do so much work in the open as we do, no?”

     It’s incredible that the decision making people responsible for the delays and bottlenecks (prevaricating deciders) only ever focus on efficiency of the means of production (coding, factory production line, etc) that only happens after prevaricated decision making.

     @dahukanna Spolier: they're "writing" the garbage corporate boilerplate code that should never have been written to begin with, and that wouldn't have been written, by humans or "AI", if the company had new hires being properly mentored to learn how to actually program and abstract away repetitive tasks rather than banging out the same boilerplate over an over.
