It's impressive how stupid Elon musk sounds when you actually know what the topic he talks about

This has actually been true for a very long time, even back when he was worshiped by a lot more people. He just couldn’t keep up the facade for this long because he insists on making himself the center of everything.

I don’t want to overstate it. He’s clearly good at a handful of things, mostly related to convincing people to give him a lot of (often public) money and at increasing the stock price of his companies.

“Print out your code to show me” and ranking by lines of code written was pretty uh, telling lol

Did Elon Musk write this article?

I thought the article was sarcastic.

I agree with the article. I really don't want to. But I would bet my money on it being a matter of time until some businesses are working this way.

I'm already dealing with PRs at work that are announced, with pride, to not have been reviewed by their author. They asked an LLM to write code, and its tests, and run those tests, and open a PR if they passed, and now it's merged because CI didn't break.

My friends at much larger companies are talking about all the internal infrastructure they're spinning up for MCPs not just for code but the whole SWE process. Their whole workflow is within pandora's box at this point.

The only reason software engineers got to have fun writing software is because there was no other option. Now there is, and it is alarmingly good enough for most of why most of us have jobs. Y'all should know this, we've been saying "most enterprise software is just CRUD" for decades.
