Sodtware dev here. I am good at it, and people pay me unreasonably high rates to come in and do things faster and better than they can.

It AI coding tools were useful, I’d use them.

AI slows me down twice:

• 60% productivity loss whenever I try to use it for anything else than a code search engine.
• When I have to follow up the -1x engineers who are using AI to become -10x engineers.

I have yet to see an AI adopter who actually gets shit done in a way that is meaningful to anyone exept their own psychotic selves.
