It already has!

It’s mind-boggling that anyone could deny this in mid-2026. Virtually every software engineer I know is no longer writing the majority of their code. Many are not writing any code, myself included. And I’m a staff engineer with 20 yoe, formerly at big tech, and now building a (profitable) SaaS of my own. The way I work is wildly different from a year ago.

And no one is going back.

Such as? Yes, yes, we know OpenAI isn’t as open as you want. What else? What are all these egregious lies that the frontier labs have told you?

What? So it’s fine for them to be concerned about the safety, try to measure it, publish results about it, start with a cautious phased release approach, basically all the things they’re doing.

But if they say why they’re doing all those things, it’s too much? What?

When you're selling orders of magnitude more than the grocery store? Only if you're completely incompetent.

When has that kind of nuance ever stopped an angry mob with an axe to grind?

Sounds incredibly fake. The type of people you're talking about don't do anonymous interviews, and they wouldn't talk about this if they did.

But hey, I enjoy fake AI content on social media sometimes too!

That’s exactly what clickbait means:

Clickbait (also known as link bait or linkbait) is a text or a thumbnail link that is designed to attract attention and to entice users to follow ("click") that link and view, read, stream or listen to the linked piece of online content, being typically deceptive, sensationalized, or otherwise misleading.

I count the start of this AI era as when ChatGPT was released, so we’re actually only 3.5 years in.

And we’re only about a year into the agentic coding era portion of that era.

It now costs orders of magnitude more than it did in November.

Really? Care to do the math for me? Just curious about exactly how many orders of magnitude it's gone up.
