I’m not one to stump for AI but 2-3 years ago we would have said AI struggled to kick out a working Powershell script and now the error rate for complex scripts is maybe 5%. The tech sped up very fast, and now they’re getting runtime environments to test the code they write, memories and project libraries. the tech will continue to improve. In 2026, 2028 are we still going to be saying the same about how AI can’t really handle coding or take people’s jobs? Quite a bit less. In 2030, less still.
There is a point beyond which no refinements can be made but just looking backward a bit, I don’t think we’re there yet.
Just in the past few months, I’d say Claude has gotten good enough to let us downsize our team from 3.5 to 2.5 but thankfully no one is interested in doing that.
