Where's the Shovelware? Why AI Coding Claims Don't Add Up
78% of developers claim AI makes them more productive. 14% say it's a 10x improvement. So where's the flood of new software? Turns out those productivity claims are bullshit.

You can always tell which of your social media contacts have kids and which don't based on how they spend the time between Christmas and new years. Without kids: I wrote a novel, put up some shelves, saw 10 movies and finished my PhD! With kids: Nothing. They're taking care of their kids.

There's a clear, well-defined JS-industrial-complex pipeline from "you should adopt this SPA-based technology because better user experiences" to "you don't have any choice, despite the terrible user experiences". Most of it operates by omission. But it's still based on lies.

this 100% matches my time at github (3 years now!!)
I'm really happy to be surrounded by folks who know that work is secondary to life outside of work, even in crunch time.
Everyone works so hard, and pursues such excellence in what we produce, and still we close our laptops at the end of the day.
