The idea that any results of AI productivity enhancements that include data from 2024 are valid is bananas.

I’m not even a programmer — but the step change since late fall 2025 is incredible.

I have a young relative that manages in house product for a financial services company. Programming team of 150 ish. That will be 15 ish by June and they are iterating much more quickly now.

So much cope in this thread. AI is in fact the grim reaper for the median coder. The emerging middle class in India tech hubs is about to get vaporized
