Do not get deceived by the average number. I'm pretty sure that most of the money of the total goes to a handful of people, and the small remaining amount will be shared by the rest. Emphasizing the average amount is just their PR strategy.

This brings up a philosophical question. Are we willing to hand over the role of "theory building" to LLM if that's even possible? If yes, what will be the role of human beings?

It may destroy many foundational assumptions that humans have had for thousands of years.

You should read it especially now when more and more code is written by LLM. The important thing is not the code itself but your mental model of the software you're building. Sadly we seem to be moving away from it. We're accumulating more and more code that we don't understand or haven't even read.

Nope. If everything is totally automated, if ever, the gap between the rich and the poor will widen even more. Most people will live in misery while only a handful of people enjoy all the automation.

Many (most?) people make a living from their job whether they like it or not. Having a job that they dislike is far better than losing one because of AI whatever that means.

Folks, the article is from 3 years ago, 2022.

Shortening feedback loops was what Kent Beck and TDD advocates were emphasizing. Now TDD has been ruined by "experts", people are realizing the importance of fast feedback loops from a different perspective.

"Most companies are efficiency-obsessed."

But what most of them do is not to be more efficient but to be shown to be more efficient. The main reason they are so obsessed with AI is because they want to send the signal that they are pursuing to be more efficient, whether they succeed or not.

That happens whether immutable or not. In the mutable world, you have to guard that using a mutex or something. In that case, operation 1 may be blocked by operation 2, and now you get a "stale" state from operation 2. But that's okay. You'll get a new state next time. The real problem occurs when two states are mixed and corrupted.
