Programmers can double their productivity and increase quality of code?!? If AI can do that for you, you’re not a programmer, you’re writing some HTML.

We tried AI a lot and I’ve never seen a single useful result. Every single time, even for pretty trivial things, we had to fix several bugs and the time we needed went up instead of down. Every. Single. Time.

Best AI can do for programmers is context sensitive auto completion.

Another thing where AI might be useful is static code analysis.

Why would I need AI for that? We should really stop trying to slap AI on everything. Also no, I’m not that big of a fan of wasting energy on web crawlers.

But if your tool chain is worth anything the size of each binary shouldn’t be bigger. To oversimplify things a bit: it’s just #ifdefs and a proper tool chain.

In the web development world on the other hand everything was always awful. Every nodejs package has half the world as dependencies…

Living under a rock eh?
