> Absolutely—I feel like I can ship at a crazy velocity now, like I have a team of interns at my disposal to code up my every silly demand.

I also wonder what type of simple CRUD apps people build that have such a performance gain? They must be building well understood projects or be incredible slow developers for LLMs to have such an impact, as I cant relate to this at all.

I wonder whether we'll be able to look back on this period in 10 years time and save definitively whether the wide spectrum of responses to LLMs was perception or real feature of our differing jobs.

Different people have different jobs doing different things? Doesn’t seem shocking to me.

But I certainly wouldn’t assume that other people’s jobs are simple or boring just because they don’t look like yours.

Given that AI tools do not deliver well on barely understood fields one can only assume people work on simple things.

Which is absolutely no shame. But people shouldn't expect these gains for their job if they work in less understood environments.

Most non CRUD AI code implementations are flawed/horrendous.

That’s right, it’s good at things that are common. If your job is mostly filled with uncommon tasks, it won’t be good at helping you.

But for the rest of us, who have a mix of common/boring and uncommon/interesting tasks, accelerating the common ones means spending more time (proportionally) on less common tasks.

Unfortunately we don’t seem to great at classifying tasks as common or uncommon, and there are bored engineers who make complex solutions just to keep their brain occupied.

There are people using Claude to make entire 3d MMO games, so ...

do you have any particular game in mind?
