Are we though? Despite the massive growth of the "AI industry", have the self-driving cars gotten much better than the steady snails-pace we've had for two decades?
We've gotten better at data-processing; but that was only half of making a car move around safely on a road.
Thanks for writing this!
…which is always how I explain legacy code.
* If a business person thinks a change or new program is very easy to do, it is really a very hard project.
* If a business person thinks the change or new program us hard to do, usually it is a trivial project.
For me, this has been true for well over 40 years. I never use any kind AI for my work, it did not exist before I retired.
If it's easy and the business thinks it's easy it gets done. If it's hard and the business thinks it's hard it doesn't.
Like in 1 to 5 years, vibe coding without looking at the code will likely be a lot better.
