Mm this is my experience as well, but I'm not particularly worried about software engineering a whole.
If anything this example shows that these cli tools give regular devs much higher leverage.
There's a lot of software labor that is like, go to the lowest cost country, hire some mediocre people there and then hire some US guy to manage them.
That's the biggest target of this stuff, because now that US guy can just get equal or hight code in both quality and output without the coordination cost.
But unless we get to the point where you can do what I call "hypercode" I don't think we'll see SWEs as a whole category die.
Just like we don't understand assembly but still need technical skills when things go wrong, there's always value in low level technical skills.
yes! I looked into implementing adblock on the iPhone notification tray and it didn't look like it was possible. Glad someone is working on it for android.
Apps shouldn't be allowed to send notifications for Ads! I give any app on my phone one chance to be annoying and then turn them off.
This feels like something where we should be able to use an on device classifier or even LLM to bucket notifications, similar to a spam inbox.
Even better if they can pull any potential coupons out for use later without flavor text from the notification itself.
Would be interested in seeing the breakdown between uplift vs company size.
e.g. I work in a FAANG and have seen an uptick in the number of lines on PRs, partially due to AI coding tools and partially due to incentives for performance reviews.
Agree, the death of the junior SWE is greatly exaggerated. (At least in FAANG)
Maybe there was some idea that if AI actually solved software engineering in a few years you wouldn't need any more SWEs. Industry is moving away from that idea this year.
Interesting tool, do you have some domain knowledge as an analyst or something similar? I've always been curious what research tools analysts are using outside of like, Google.
I mean if you're getting X number of users per day and you don't need to pay for bandwidth or anything, there's gotta be SOME way to monetize down the line.
If your userbase or the current CEO likes it or not.
Very cool. If you're interested in things like this you might wanna checkout CGP Grey's videos on tracking down various stories from books through archives.
