RE: toot.cat/@plexus/1162830168377
It should also be noted that beyond the ethical, political and environmental issues with this is that it doesn't work:
1. There is on average no mid to long term productivity gain with actual real-world software development that isn't just a "wow see what it can do" demo. (Multiple studies have shown that now.)
2. It won't help with 90% of the work when professionally making software, which, believe it or not, isn't coding. 90% of the work is designing and planning the software (these are things that happen both upfront and during development).
Maybe you have seen the recent Microsoft thing rolling back features in Windows they added?
E.g. Copilot in Notepad. What they did is essentially outsourcing project management to developers who then outsourced it to LLMs. But an LLMs can't plan and design software, and arguably barely can even generate code that works (as in reliable and performant). So now they have a buggy mess with features no one wants and they're rolling it back.
There's no silver bullets in software development.

Quote from a NYT article (link in the toot):

“We need to get better at treating
this like a business,” ICE acting
director Todd M. Lyons said at a
border security conference in April,
according to the Arizona Mirror. The
administration’s goal, he said, was
to deport immigrants as efficiently
as Amazon moves packages: “Like
Prime, but with human beings.”
