❓Fave nugget from our chat w @github CEO @ashtom on our latest @sequoia Training Data episode with me & @sonyatweetybird: On what timeframe do you think AI will be as good as an average developer, and a 10x developer?
1⃣ Models today are able to write better code than the average developer, if prompted in the right way and given the right context
2⃣ But models today lack creativity, critical thinking, and systems thinking... Models today still need to learn how to decompose problems and make the right technical decisions
