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)

        It may not have to do with increased revenue, but it does have everything to do with reduced cost, especially developer's cost.

        I bet every company is finding up how to level up their employees via AI, so that they can use less of them in the future.

        So even without increased revenue, AI has its (mis)uses.
