It's either very funny or very depressing to watch executives trip over themselves to prove who has the worst understanding of what software development actually entails.

- Satya Nadella says that 20–30% of all code in Microsoft repositories is now written by AI.
- Sundar Pichai says AI already writes well over 30% of new code at Google.

What does this mean?
- Software development is no longer constrained by typing speed, but by how clearly engineers articulate intent.

@cloudhop More classically for software engineering, per Fred Brooks (1975): "one woman can produce a baby in nine months but nine women cannot produce a baby in one month".

@cloudhop typing speed? I'm speechless, do they even know what they're talking about?

@sabrinaweb71 @cloudhop No, no. They don't know anything. We're not seeing true consciousness here, just an (admittedly suprisingly convincing) example of mimicry.

And then there are the LLMs…

@cloudhop as a composer I am no longer constrained by how fast I can play the piano

screenshot of the dumbest math question ever invented by man

An orchestra of 120 players takes 40 minutes to play Beethoven's 9th Symphony. How long would it take for 60 players to play the symphony?
Let P be number of layers and T the time playing.
