The same thing is true in software engineering: an AI model is equivalent to an average programer (average with a huge standard deviation). Averigua is better than half, but still way behind the top performers

I used to be obsessed about language design and now, since I almost never write code directly (it's always Claude), I completely lost interest.

It feels like a total waste of time and I wonder if other feel the same.

Maybe we'll be stuck with J's and python forever...

I'm experience, that doesn't work if you main clients are big corporations. The average corporate drone mistrusts and disregards small companies. Not out of arrogance, I believe, but out of fear: a generalized version of the old "no one was fired for buying IBM" trope. Small companies are seen as higher risk.
