This is a very strange statement. People don't always announce when they use AI for writing their software since it's a controversial topic. And it's a sliding scale. I'm pretty sure a large fraction of new software has some AI involved in its development.

> new software has some AI involved in its development.

A large part of it is probably just using it as a better search. Like "How do I define a new data type in go?".


I strongly agree with this. The only place where AI is uncontroversial is web search summaries.

The real blockers and time sinks were always bad/missing docs and examples. LLMs bridge that gap pretty well, and of course they do. That's what they're designed to be (language models), not an AGI!

I find it baffling how many workplaces are chasing perceived productivity gains that their customers will never notice instead of building out their next gen apps. Anyone who fails to modernize their UI/UX for the massive shift in accessibility about to happen with WebMCP will become irrelevant. Content presentation is so much higher value to the user. People expect things to be reliable and simple. Especially new users don't want your annoying onboarding flow and complicated menus and controls. They'll just find another app that gives them what they want faster.
