@SarahLevinger We're humans after all. I've gotten extremely good value off your X posts alone if it helps.
You're making a huge difference believe it or not.
Hot take: Universities charge $300,000 for a degree that teaches you skills any LLM can do for free. At some point we need to have an honest conversation about whether higher education is the greatest individuals misallocation of capital in recent history.
Marc Andreessen wrote the essay that predicted software would eat the world, and he just identified something new with coding.
"Everybody I know who uses AI for coding, you would think they'd either be out of the profession entirely, or maybe they just have a better life now because they're working less. What's actually happened is virtually to a person they're all working more hours."
"There is a new term of art used in the valley called the AI vampire, it's when AI turns you into a vampire. You're up all night doing AI coding because you are so productive, you're getting so much done that you can't turn off."
"The top coders in AI make $50 million a year. They've got the philosopher's stone."
"Every company I know has a thousand things they've wanted to have code for that they've never been able to get to. All of a sudden they can do all those projects. Not only is this sustainable, this is going to intensify."

See you in the next one:
Everyone is obsessed with AI making a 10x engineer a 1000x engineer.
The recent reductions at CloudFlare and Click have me me realize the plot is equally about the inverse: AI amplifies the *negative* impacts of poor performers.
If a person with poor taste, who makes mediocore judgement calls, and doesn't properly build things customers love is able to produce 10x more work - does a company want that?
Hell no! Productivity isn't just about as many people as possible tokenmaxxing. AI is a double edged sword, especially when it's used to produce net new work.
If you give a bad artist a pen that can draw 100x as fast, you're going to pile up with a lot of junky artwork very quickly.
And since it happens so quickly leaders are now able to see quickly who is Picasso and who is not and adjust accordingly.
