I think the “punk” in cyberpunk was about the AI having a gritty, streetwise protagonist to enable it/fight against it. Extremely immediate.

Depends, if every time a project redeploys it redownloads all external resources from their respective CDNs, do you consider that to be inefficient? What if it’s part of a service that runs on thousands of instances to keep up with the volume of user generate content?

> The gigantic salaries paid to the most prolific employees is not due to their ability to write code. It is due to their ability to interrogate the shit out of the customer until they finally reveal the true requirements.

That doesn’t describe any devs I know, especially not in the old days. Interrogating customers and bringing back requirements was the job of management (who got big salaries, too.)
