I'm guessing this tweet is what the OP was referring to

This is the first bit of AI news that actually made me want to investigate it for myself. Even though it is pretty impressive to get a working app out of a few prompts, it seems for now it's not capable of producing much more than snippet level code.

I like the author's take further in the thread:

> Company A fires half their staff yet keeps delivering 100% of their old capacity = they save money

> Company B keeps all their staff, but can now deliver 200% of their old capacity = they win the competition

> So seems like the strategic move here is to raise the bar rather than replace engineers

My hope is that stuff allows me to augment my workflow and automate repetitive and tedious tasks away but doesn't fully replace me (or I get UBI and don't have to work anymore)




But Company A has reduced product price be 60% because the biggest cost center is now halved. Customers like some new features from B but not justifying the price.
