      But when a mid-tier or entry level dev can do 60% of what a senior can do, it’ll be a great way to cut costs.

      Same as how an entry level architect can build a building 60% as tall, and that’ll last 60% as long, right?

      Edit: And an entry level aerospace engineer with AI assistance will build a plane that’s 60% as good at not crashing.

      I’m not looking forward to the world I believe is coming…

        Get 2 and the plane will be 120% as good!

        In fact if children with AI are a mere 1% as good, a school with 150 children can build 150% as good!

        I am sure this is how project management works, and if it is not maybe Elon can get Grok to claim that it is. (When not busy praising Hitler.)

          this brooks no argument and it’s clear we should immediately throw all available resources at ai so as to get infinite improvement!!~

        It’s going to be your INT bonus modifier, but you can get a feat that also adds the WIS modifier

        For prolonged coding sessions you do need CON saving throws, but you can get advantage from drinking coffee (once per short rest)

          I must have picked up a feat somewhere because I hit that shit way more than once per short rest

      Yeah, the glorious future where every half-as-good-as-expert developer is now only 25% as good as an expert (a level of performance also known as being “completely shit at it”), but he’s writing 10x the amount of unusable shitcode.
