Yes. All of this sounds wise to me. Developers must be allowed and encouraged to expand their scope of responsibility in relation to how AI expands their code typing speed.

Blindly crushing jira tickets at 4x the speed will lead to crap, but investing the gained time into being more strategical will lead to higher productivity AND for many people greater job satisfaction.

Correlated for sure. But the cause and effect is unclear.

Shipping lots of good code by necessity means you ship lots of code.

Shipping lots of bad code, too.

But if you only know that you are shipping lots of code, which of the two is it?

IOW: by increasing number of shipped LOC, you will not magically make it better.

Do you think their endgame is achievable? Honest question, your reasoning seems balanced.

I could not find this in the S-1?

Spot on!

Exactly, the important parts are spread out over the whole text.

But also: I am bad at skimming, better at close reading, and LLM text is unreadable for me as well.

I have on a few occasions tried, and failed, to instruct Claude to write in a more comprehensive way. So while it may be possible to affect it but prompting, it is not certain to work and to remain in effect for a longer time.

I agree, well put. Data dense but information sparse.

One is bombarded with facts and struggle to get what the text is actually saying.

I have tried getting the LLM (Opus 4.8 or some 5.x and some other model) to write more human like, and also analyze its own text. It was hilarious, it could describe the problem quite well, but was helpless to actually do anything about it. "Oops I did it again, sorry!" LOL

The problem is when the AI has to describe something you do not understand, like a complex piece of code or a series of unknown changes. Or all these horrible "sharable artifacts" that are spreading like a disease.

Why is "vi går hem till mig" incorrect?

Opposite where i am. PMs would gladly ship good enough while some dev colleagues are more strict so to say.

Yes, my point is that when people say they are more productive, and that consists of more ppt slides, there is confusion and slop happening.

A difference is the output of software development can be immediately applied in an automatic way - production leads to delivery as a matter of fact. The whole flow can actually be automated.

Producing legal documents on the other hand is only part of the process, a lawyer or similar must still apply the produced text in some human driven context.

I think the question discussed here is more: it didn't disrupt everything in ~four years, will it take another two, five or twenty?

Is "time to prepare report" something that will actually increase overall productivity? Or does it really not matter that much?
