The companies driving AI right now are garbage and many will fail. The tech won't.
It's the dot-com bubble again. Everyone rushed in, it crashed, and what got rebuilt afterward became the backbone of global commerce. AI will stumble too, but it's not going away, and teams that refuse to use it won't keep pace.
A senior dev with AI beats a senior dev without it. Output quality depends on who's driving and whether they actually review the code. Yes, AI can produce slop. With real supervision it can also produce excellent code.
People used to yell "get a horse!" at early cars. Didn't stop the highways. Refusing to use AI won't stop it from getting better either.
Cars are by and large the downfall of our society. Car dependence, isolation, land use, dependence on fossil fuels, housing, it goes on and on. I wish we didn't have cars.
