   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.

      Do you get paid 10x or is this a massive loss ? Because I don't know anyone getting paid 10x or working 10x less for the same salary.

         Do you get paid 10x more for using an excavator after you upgraded from digging with a spoon?

         Stop thinking as an employee. Start selling products and features.
