How much time do we have to wait before we are allowed to criticize AI? GitHub copilot has existed for half a decade. Cursor, Claude code, codex, have all existed for over a year and have seen more investment that practically any product in history and have almost 0 barrier to entry. Where is my decade of software progress in 1 year, because that’s what 10x productivity looks like! All I see are the same old broken products and services from basically the same handful of big players, higher costs, and more bugs. Remember when every year iOS and Android saw loads of new features and a radical rethink every few years? And that happened on ancient hardware and in a significantly smaller industry. Where is anything like that happening now?
