    People aren't seeing the forest through the trees.

    While lots of developers, journalists, analysts, investors and influencers are bickering about AGI, goalposts, benchmarks, hypes and fears, entire markets are being transformed silently and steadily.

    I don't program anymore. (Massive change)

    I removed tons of technical debt (Massive change, lol)

    I am easily 10x more productive (Massive change)

    The quality of 'my' code is easily 10x better and contains less bugs (I was never principled, pedantic or a guru, lol)

    I sleep better and I also make more money as a result. I'm constantly amazed by all changes and improvements. There are so many opportunities to profit from this that I can't be bothered with discussions about hypotheticals.

      I mean, the authors here cannot afford to see the forest, because they staked their careers on forests of trees being an impossibility.
