Joke's on him, Know-Nothing Know-It-All is also a trope.

tl;dr: AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI! Agents! AI...
Just one thing that caught my attention:
AI code review helps developers. We ... found that 72.6% of developers who use Copilot code review said it improved their effectiveness.
Only 72.6%? So why the heck are the other almost 30% of devs using it? For funsies? They don't say.
You'd think due to self selection effects most people who wouldn't find using Copilot effective wouldn't use it.
The only way that number makes sense to me is if people were force to use Copilot and... no, wait, that checks out.
I don't see the problem, that looks like a typical McMansion to me.
Also, it's nice the AI included a dedicated room for snorting cocaine (powder room).
all 19,797 submissions and 75,800 reviews (to one conference, in one year)

A week-ish ago I said that Mike Masnick is twice as annoying about AI as Dare Obasanjo.
I'm "LIne storee" babyee.
I think he's just a true believer (or very good at lying).
I have better thoughts I can waste time on
Me too. Unfortunately I don't get to pick my intrusive thoughts.
I have some thoughts about this goober (Simon Willison) that I need to get out of my head:
First the positives:
- I think he's actually an experienced software engineer.
- I think he care to check and test the LLM output.
But, by his own admission:
- He uses LLM for tasks he knows well (So easier to check and little negative impact on learning)
- He works mostly on hobby projects (so no obligation to actually maintain the stuff)
- He can choose to not use new libraries (which in a professional setting is not always a luxury you can afford)
Tl;dr: an experienced dev who uses clankers to churn out tons of technically functional hobby software and thinks this gives him right to speak for all software engineers.
OK, my bad. I was thinking about scenario like this: https://eneroutlook.enerdata.net/total-electricity-generation-projections.html
If you assume doubling of electricity production by 2050 (development + electrification) then 10% of that would mean more than double nuclear production.
5% would not really be a massive increase, my mistake, but would still mean more builds than retirement.
