alt Hacker NewsAlmost every software engineer seems to agree on that point. Not believing marketing hype is standard practice in this industry because plenty of us are inherently techno-optimists who have been burned by over-belief in the past.
Regardless it is hard to dismiss the fact AI is making it easier for randoms to develop software. And it will keep getting better the more integrated and controlled it gets.
If Hackernews is to be taken as a representative crosss section of the industry, I disagree. I've seen plenty of people on here so hyped it boarders on hysteria. I work with a couple of senior devs who have gotten downright weird about it.
Maybe HN leans more toward the hobbiest and student side then it does industry professionals, I don't know, but you don't have to look far to find someone who swears up and down you can run a couple agents in a loop and have it build multi million line code bases with little to no oversight.
