Or getting paid more?
Oh… Just exploited more. Got it.
Yes, you’ll be working less because we’re replacing your team with AI

How do they even measure productivity? The line of code output?
Depends on where you work. That’s one potential measure. It’s a shitty one though.
Based on my AI enthusiast colleagues, I totally believe 100x productive.
100 x 0 == 0
100x productivity boost? Then you must be working much less, and still making much more, right? Doesn’t even need to reach that 100x figure, even say half the work hours and 2-3x the pay or 1/4 the work hours for the same pay would be great.
I now start and abandon x10 more hobby projects every year, so yeah, my productivity is definitely up.
Generally people choose to work the same hours even when their productivity goes up because the opportunity cost of not working an hour goes up too
Me, being 100x more productive
Increasing spam phone calls by 100x
“No Padme. I will be out of the job and fill repositories with my vibe coded slop free of charge.”
What’s the point then?
I output more personalized smut mods than anyone ever thought possible
Trailblazer here!
If the original phrase was true and the market for software was saturated, the point would be that more productive people would outcompete you out of your job. The correct answer is to either get the most productivity possible so you’ll end up a little richer, or switch careers.
But both the original phrase is a lie and the market for software is nowhere close saturation.
I work less these days with a bump of productivity and I’ll be getting a sizable bump in salary eoy🤷♂️
Win win in my situation for the moment.
