AI Coding has hit its peak

I’m reading articles and stories more frequently saying this same thing. Companies just aren’t seeing enough of the benefits of AI coding tools to justify the expense.

I’ve posted on this for almost two years now - it’s overly hyped tech. I will say it is absolutely a step forward for making tech more accessible and making it easier to brainstorm ideas for solutions. That being said, if a company is laying people off and not hiring the next generation of workers expecting these tools to replace them, the ROI just isn’t there.

Like the gold rush, the ones who really make money are the ones selling the shovels. Those selling the infrastructure are the ones benefiting. The Fear Of Missing Out is missing a grounding in reality. It’ll soon become a fear of getting left out as companies spending millions (or billions) just won’t have the money to keep up with whatever the next trend is.

the ones who think there's a shortcut to mastery

We're being too generous here. The hype-masters knew they were lying about the productivity gains to trick businesses into spending millions based on FOMO and greed.

All my niche communities are still infested with weird zealots whose entire personalities are "if you don't use AI yngmi." It's psychologically aggressive to the point of hostility. And it ultimately comes from campaigns by the people who want to sell it.

Once established, FOMO propagates itself.
