Readit NewsThe thinking was that they could iterate faster, ship better code, and have an always on 10x engineer in the form of Claude code.
I've observed perfectly rational founders become addicted to the dopamine hit as they see Claude code output what looks like weeks or years of software engineering work.
It's overgenerous to allow anyone to believe AI can actually "think" or "reason" through complex problems. Perhaps we should be measuring time saved typing rather than cognition.

Which IDE do you use? JetBrains Rider?
My personal dev is shifting to Rust.
I'm a c# dev with near 20 years experience, and I finally got the shits with advertising in the start menu. Arch Linux, because I figured why not do it properly?
I game a fair bit, and find most things on steam just work.
But play two songs at the same time, or try talking to me with significant background noise, and I seem to be distinctly impaired vs. most others.
If I concentrate, I can sometimes work through it.
My uninformed model is a pipeline of sorts, and some sort of pre-processing isn't turned on. So the stuff after it has a much harder job.
I meant that demographically, if your populace isn't as poor, battle hardened and religious (like Afghanistan) maybe going into a long ground war is less politically feasible?
In Afghanistan they had basically just been fighting a war, where the last war in Iran was 30 years ago?
Israel is very clearly, without any question or doubt, a serious threat to every one of its neighbors.
To me, the things that he avoids mentioning in this understatement are pretty important:
- "stable position" seems to sweep a lot under the rug when one considers the scope of ecosystem destruction and species/biodiversity loss
- whatever "sharing" exists is entirely on our terms, and most of the remaining wild places on the planet are just not suitable for agriculture or industry
- so the range of things can could be considered "stable" and "sharing" must be quite broad, and includes many arrangements which sound pretty bad for many kinds of intelligences, even if they aren't the kind of intelligence that can understand the problems they face.
Imperfect, but definitely better than most!
Sure, you might not like it and think you as a human should write all code, but frequent experience in the industry in the past months is that productivity in the teams using tools like this has greatly increased.
It is not unreasonable to think that someone deciding not to use tools like this will not be competitive in the market in the near future.
