@erden_xi Yes. And 5 year developer with AI tools can outperform 30 year developer without them.

Evolution of the software engineer's "skill tree", from writing code -> exercising judgement and producing outcomes https://t.co/07tUpre0Hv

LLMs are the new compilers.

You used to write assembly by hand. Now you don’t.

The high-level language in 1985 was C++. Today it's English.

For other founders & investors: Where are you placing your bets?

On the core AI models, or on the production-grade 'wrappers' that turn models into a real business?

I'm building AI apps in two wildly different spaces: media (https://t.co/ELCvfUizXl) & biotech (https://t.co/YoI46DF3RX).

My biggest takeaway: The AI-generated 'magic' is NOT the product. It's the hook.

The real, defensible work is everything you build around the AI. 👇

[Stephen David @sdavid1414]

The metaphor I keep coming back to:

The AI model is a powerful engine. But you're not selling an engine.

You're selling the entire vehicle: chassis, dashboard, security, the works. That's the product.

The secret to shipping software quickly is not getting distracted by shiny objects. Build the 20% that will satisfy 80% of users and then iterate. #Software #uxdesign

Sorry to break the news to the outrage addicts, but the truth is almost always somewhere near the middle.
