I would flip this a little: I worked a lot in consulting with many large companies, none had 100% test coverage, if they had proper testing at all.
But: I don't think there are particular benefits though to typed languages. For instance, I use Go for other reasons, has nothing to do with types or AI (rich standard lib, builds into a single binary, that I can deploy 15-20 seconds with Kamal, speed, etc.). Maybe there is somewhat of a runtime safety that Go actually brings due to its types.
My reasoning is that AI models are becoming so good, that it doesn't matter. They can do Go, JavaScript, Ruby or whatever very reliably today. The dimensions that will matter will be other ones, no users ever cared what language we have on the backend.
Time to market, speed of fixing things, good UX, which includes fast reacting UIs, etc, are the ones users do care about. AI is getting pretty good at these. So differentiating factors will be less and less on the language itself.
@antirez Still quite interesting. This might mean that in 1-2 years we can pretty good LLMs running locally on dev machines.
That would be a nice twist of events for the large labs.
I can anytime ship 50x more code than yesterday. Most of it will be crap.
Counting lines of code as any kind of metric has been a horrible idea for many years, now again presented as something amazing.
@HungaryToday I never watched live parliamentary sessions, I watch these, or listen to be exact. I really hope he doesn't change style, this is really fun.
@zeldman That is something. I am not sure I can imagine how that happened, that is an extreme amount of tokens.
I did similar things, couple times, I managed to burn 250 million tokens on Deepseek on one night. But that was basically peanuts.
You are absolutely clueless. His behavior was never impeccable, he never did any of the things his institution was expected to do, not once. His own former staff says he is entirely clueless and has no understanding of what his institution is expected to do in the Hungarian political environment.
@DrTamasSulyok It is quite interesting that you worry about the constitution only when your role in jeopardy.
You had no problem with it so far.
So maybe time to go worry about it somewhere else. We Hungarians never wanted you there.
Also true for more granular levels: design systems, or their components, software libraries, etc. Putting creative work into something is loosing value, it may seem.
But that is not true.
We, the expert dinosaurs, are becoming more rare, our knowledge is expanding rapidly due to AI, hence we become more valuable.
@naval I think there always have been 10x (software) engineers. The ones that have been around for long enough to have a powerful pattern recognition for not to do and for what to do, spearing significant amounts of times like this. I think are getting to 100x now.
