Frankly, it seems obvious to me that AI has negative efficiency (0.25x as efficient as the old way? 0.125x as efficient as the old way? 0.0625x as efficient as the old way?)

AI has created a generation of 0.125x engineers.

Skill issue.

If you make an effort to use the new tools effectively, the gains are wild. Don't fall into a grumpy luddite trap, the train is leaving the station and you'll struggle to catch up if you don't learn and grow.

Not using AI for software development in 2027 will be like only knowing how to program via punchcard in 2010.

It's new. It's different. It's hard. It's your job. Learn how to use it effectively, embrace the new abundance mindset.
