Granting that those don't fully overlap, is that relevant to the point? I'm not seeing either.

Because theyre just pushing out stuff that nobody mighy even need or want to buy. Because its not even necessarily leading to more revenue. Software companies arent factories. More stuff doesnt mean more $$$ made

Unfortunately, I think it does. Even if customers don't want all that extra stuff and will never use it, it sells better.

Our jobs are full of a lot more than just writing code. In my case it seems like it’s helping to accelerate a portion of the dev cycle, but that’s a fairly smart portion, say 20%, and even a big impact on that just gets dominated by the other phases that haven’t been accelerated.

I’m not as bullish as some are on the impact of AI, but it does feel nice when you can deliver something in a fraction of the time it used to take. For me, it’s more useful as a research and idea exploration tool, less so about writing code. Part of that is that I’m in Scala land, so it just tends to not work as well as a more mainstream language.

We haven’t used it to help the product management and solution exploration side, which seems to be a big constraint on our execution.

And?
