your point is? i was a senior developer at aws, we were forced to do even more in less time, with the job becoming even more stressful, we are in an acceleration trap. ai does not allow us to do other things or frees up time, instead colleagues are fired and those who stay on the job have to do 10x more 20x faster.

I find that quote hard to believe. One person can do more with AI that I agree, but other people can also do more. So if a single person is able to build something, it means others can also copy it, and it won’t be valued at 1B dollars. Also if software becomes cheap, other parts become more valuable like sales, customer support, etc.

Will AI also turn non-lawyers into lawyers? A lawyer into a whole team? A 10x lawyer into a 1-person firm? Substitute the 'coder' for any other knowledge profession and the idea breaks down. No one will hire an AI-first lawyer to defend them in court, or a ai-doctor for your diagnosis... or ai-accountant for complex taxes... or any profession were sh!ts hits the fan (yes including 'coders')

The idea that AI turns “non-coders into coders” is absurd — non-coders that are using AI to develop something are, explicitly, not programming. It’s like saying a product manager becomes a programmer by simply assigning a task to a programmer.

Lol, no. Maybe 20 years and we’ve progressed in tech fast enough, but not with today’s “ai” tech. It really isnt even that much better than previous machine learning. The video generation is kind of cool, but i definitely wouldn’t pay to see an ai generated movie.

Nah, it will make people produce unbelievable amount of cheap garbage noone will want to buy. I've already learned to subconciously skip ai yt content, art, podcast,music and what not. The only viable application for me is brute force requiered in engineering areas like nuclear fusion, protein folding etc.

Anything one person can do can be quickly cloned. The market will be flooded well before $100m, let alone $1b.

And you are teaching others how to start their billion dollar companies but not starting your own.

Seriously? I was waiting for "just kidding" at the end.No it does not turn a non dev into a dev or a 1x into a 10x. If that was true, why aren't we seeing a huge influx of new consumer apps or mobile apps?

I realized this months ago and quit my job as a senior software engineer at big tech and started my own company. Now I have so much more time freedom, work only on things that I enjoy and that challenge and excite me. I’m much happier now.

A Life Engineered
AI will turn non-coders into coders, so everybody can experience 0 → 1.
AI will turn every 1x developer into a 10x team lead.
If you're already a 10x developer, you'll be able to run a company on your own.
The age of the 1-person billion dollar company is coming.
