AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up

    Here's my constant question:

    Everyone's going so fast that they keep hitting walls. Review, CI, product asking for things, whatever.

    Why have we not seen an improvements in products?

    While every post and thread feels like a 90's wall street office, the new android and iphone ship with fewer features than usual. No indie guys come up with a linux-sized alternative OS. Switch 2 remains unhacked. Windows takes 3 seconds to show the right click menu.

    Is everyone just running full speed in circles or something?

      The follow on question is if it's making us all so much more productive, where is the increased revenue? As far as I can tell, it's mostly the AI labs seeing that, not everyone using them (modulo small founders building new things and doing okay, I think)

        Isn’t cloudflare a pretty clear answer to these? They are launching more products than ever, some of them clearly vibe coded, and their revenue is exploding.

          I think you could make that argument, yeah.

          <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;au.finance.yahoo.com&#x2F;quote&#x2F;NET&#x2F;financials&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;au.finance.yahoo.com&#x2F;quote&#x2F;NET&#x2F;financials&#x2F;

          Interesting to look at, a decent example for sure.

          Is that because more people are signing up to use Cloudflare as a MITM to block the increasing avalanche of AI-generated traffic though??

            I don’t know exactly where the money comes from but they are clearly launching vibecoded products <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;try.cloudflare.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;try.cloudflare.com&#x2F; and seem to be quite good at it. So they are shipping more for sure and it seems to help win them business&#x2F; expand their existing accounts.
