Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense.

“c gets you close to the machine” is the kind of sentence that lands very differently after working in a factory you’re not supposed to be close to the machine! that’s where the finger munchers are!

Instead of regurgitating the bromide that LLMs are just "autocomplete on steroids" (even by people who know better), maybe we can actually engage in some public education. The problem with genAI is better expressed through a classic computer science concept, known as SYMBOL GROUNDING. 🧵

We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

I've been doing Advent of Code in Java, which I've been enjoying, but it has a very uncomfortable "Enterprise FizzBuzz" feel to it. Maybe I need to give in and add some more interfaces and stuff.
