I'm consistently shocked at how much cope about AI is still in hacker news threads. Clinging to the idea that human taste and skill in writing code is still no match for AI.

Yes we still need humans in the code loop, but that window is tiny (relative to the lines of code written) and getting smaller quickly.

A new feature with 1000 lines of code can now be written in 2 minutes, and often work just as desired. Yes, almost always something can be refactored, etc, but it works, and it's good.

Denying that code is now MUCH cheaper than it was pre-AI is... head in the sand stuff, I think?
