AI

Some group of people, we don't know who or which, at some point in the future, we don't know when, will have a good laugh at another group's expense. It seems improbable, indeed impossible, that so many brilliant people could be so wrong. So we are totally prepared to be on the receiving end of the ridicule.

Our goal with Cursor is to invent sort of a new type of programming, a very different way to build software that's kind of just distilled down to you describing the intent to the computer for what you want in the most concise way possible... Michael Truell

Coding is just one part of engineering. There’s also debugging, operating services, scaling up infrastructure, deciding what to optimize, setting up hardware and capacity, talking to users, product planning, etc. Coding is the easy part, everything else is not yet solved (but is also becoming increasingly automated). Boris Cherny

I'm certain AI will do 80% of the economically valuable work humans do today, for 80% of all jobs, faster than most believe. The question isn't whether mass underemployment arrives, but whether we have a policy framework ready. Vinod Khosla

The "we will upgrade the dependencies later" excuse just died. When AI makes library upgrades nearly free, staying current stops being a luxury and becomes the default. Tech debt was always a tooling problem and now it’s a thing of the past. Gary Tan

AI vampire ... 500,000 lines of code ... completely re-automated his entire house ... robot dog pets ... digital music jukebox of his dreams ... twenty times more output per hour ... Marc Andreessen

And if you're writing code in any traditional way, stop. It's over. Eric Schmidt

The age of hand-coding is mostly over. Eric Raymond

Authoring code by hand HAS GONE AWAY. Uncle Bob Martin

Things will move maybe even by the end of this year to where you don’t even bother doing coding. The AI just creates the binary directly… and the AI can create a much more efficient binary than can be done by any compiler. So just say ‘create optimized binary for this particular outcome,’ and you actually bypass even traditional coding. Elon Musk
