The dotcom bubble was the whole investor industry trying to capitalize on the internet, and they just failed because they were investing everything in a new thing people didn’t need yet.
Today we live in an interconnected world, close to what was promised to the investors back then.
In ten, twenty years, once the bubble, OpenAI, Anthropic and all that are long buried, in what form do you think AI will exist? Do you think it will be an improved version of our current-day LLMs, or a different form of AI? Or do you imagine something else altogether?
Reading speed is not equivalent to code review speed in the slightest! A good case study: https://static0.smartbear.co/support/media/resources/cc/book/code-review-cisco-case-study.pdf Tl;dr the ideal rate of code review is something like 300 lines per hour.
As someone who writes software for a living, these tools are simply nowhere near as good as a seasoned developer in terms of code quality. Getting them to write code at that level takes so much babysitting and tweaking that it is faster to just write it by hand. If you are not a full-time developer and are just writing some code on the side here and there, then yes, an LLM will probably do a better job. And thats ok! I’ve used them plenty and thought about this a lot as well. So I don’t say this out of denial. But, at least for now, they are nowhere near a good as someone who knows what they are doing if you account for quality, and not just how fast the machine can spit out lines.
