Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone. Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation. "I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody. It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code." --- From @theallinpod YT channel (link in comment)


everybody’s just having takes on takes on takes just any excuse to shit out 2000 words in an “article” to gain legitimacy bro it’s the most exciting time of discovery and invention and you’re claiming to know the answers?? this early in the game? offensive but anyway

Getting all of my thoughts down and organized is always the hardest part when writing something. At least for me. I'm playing with an interface that you can speak to. It will jot down index cards as you're rambling and organize them into main topics.
