I liked the article overall but found it a little wishy-washy in some of the conclusions.

> People do not want to wake up every day and log in to Slack and find the buttons and menus all subtly moved around. People do not want financial transactions that complete most of the time. Determinism is not going anywhere, my friends.

Well, I can't reconcile people not wanting things moving around and determinism with the promises of acceleration made by AI. The way I see it either AI makes "massive, discontinuous returns on investment" by way of changing things or we get a sustainable rate of change; these seem like contradicting goals to me.

Plus humans are non-deterministic, so AI replacing humans is not adding more determinism to the development process.
Humans make up for being non-deterministic by being disciplined

AI doesn't have anything resembling discipline
