All I know is that when I watch someone at 3am, running their tenth parallel agent session, telling me they’ve never been more productive
... okay, I'll bite. What is actually being made here?
These people are so productive, running 10 checkouts of a repo with Claude or whoever... Code must be flying out. I'm sure github is seeing a rise in lines pushed faster than ever.
I am not seeing an explosion of products worthy of any cents out of this, though, at least nowhere near what is being evangelised by the "trust me bro, we're productivity gods now".
Where is the output of all these tokens going, when you wake up the next morning?
I've used AI quite a lot. Enough to know that an inference state machine is an inference state machine.
I want to see it, I want to believe! Show me the goods! Stop telling everyone how productive you are and show the finished work.
At least the post seems to be rightfully conclusive that people are going to go _insane_.
Vibecoding slop every night, waking up the next morning, starting again, and again. Without any meaning or end; I suspect these people will quit and move on to something else. I've been programming, probably averagely, for over 25 years -- because I like computers -- not because I like being a productivity junkie, shooting on dopamine.
I've been using AI to systematically go through my (extremely) long list of pet projects/fixes/gripes/things that should exist, and it's been fun, but I agree with the sentiment that it has to be for the sake of improving _something_.

Make it count.
