You're not wrong, per se, but I think you are not comprehending what will happen next. You think nobody sees this? You think nobody is aware that it's the humans in the process that are holding everything back?

Sure you can have an issue tracker with 1000 items and yes, you can have a bot solve them all in a day, but who monitors it? Who gets to say what he did at the standup? Who reports to whom and what?

Code is not the bottleneck (if it ever was..)

So if the leading frontier AI company are struggling to remove human gatekeepers from slowing down the process, how do you think this will go across the rest of the economy?

Will Northrop Grumman, the state government of Alaska, the construction industry, etc. somehow magically move faster than Anthropic?

Not sure. Once that particular ball gets rolling I’m not sure how fast it’ll go.

Not saying the current crop of AI companies is going to make it but the tech itself isn’t going away.

That's not because "vibes" but because focusing on "code" is the wrong level of abstraction altogether. It always was. We just didn't have the technology to let it go, but now we do.

Code is a reflection. Of what? Look there. Code itself is useless.

I had the distinct pleasure of savoring some of the exquisite UI and API experience that Cisco and friends cooked up for me in a misguided IoT adventure. Let me tell you, "deterministic" does not mean "not wrong" or "not stupid".

Well.. code is indeed not the bottleneck. That's precisely it. Reviewing, internal and external communication, testing, etc. Those are bottlenecks and AI is making some parts of it easier, some parts worse.
