@arstechnica can't wait until they realize that coding is a tiny part of overall development. Even if tooling shaves 25% off coding, it's only shaving a few % off developer time.

Maybe make an AI that can attend low-productivity meetings instead.

@fennix @arstechnica I'd be setting mine to "Shoresy" a lot of the time
