I think of Java as one of the earliest widely-accepted languages that introduced a lot of design patterns and language idioms that have become pretty much par for the course, since.

I never really liked it, but I see its influence in Swift, every day, and I do like Swift.

I think that we are at the "unlikable Java" stage of AI, right now. In a few years, we'll be seeing the next generation of tools, and they will be pretty cool.

And no, CEOs, you won't be able to fire all of your developers, and still stay in business. The developers will just have different tools at hand.

The funny thing is that, on a purely technical level, LLMs are more likely to do a better job at replacing upper management than replacing developers. If companies really want to save money, they should let AI replace the CEO.

Management output can be vague and shift arbitrarily from day to day. It would make sense LLM slop fits in better there. We'll circle back to this action item.

But CEOs are putting a lot of money in AI and the books need to be balanced somehow.
