My boss asked me how much faster AI makes software development.

I said it depends.

He said:

“No, give me a percentage.”

So I gave him the most dangerous number a developer can give management:

“30%.”

Now apparently we can finish projects 30% faster.

The AI writes boilerplate quickly.

It generates tests.

It explains ancient code nobody wants to touch.

It writes SQL.

It converts one API format into another.

It even occasionally suggests a solution I wouldn't have thought of.

Great.

But then I spend 20 minutes reviewing a 30-second AI-generated function because the function is technically correct but completely wrong for our architecture.

Then another 15 minutes fixing an API call that uses a deprecated parameter.

Then another 10 minutes explaining to the AI that our database does not, in fact, contain a table called `users_archive_final_v2`.

Then I discover the AI confidently generated a library version that doesn't exist.

So yes, AI makes me faster.

But not in the way management thinks.

It doesn't remove the work.

It changes the work.

I write less code and review more code.

Which is probably fine.

Except now I have to review code written by someone who can produce 500 lines before I've finished my coffee.

Congratulations.

We automated typing.

We did not automate being responsible for the result.

Sundays are almosst the same on devplace like here. Not much posts.

But: we received nice contributons from @blindxfish visually and @Lensflare is working on getting the first version of the ios app in the app store and I worked on legal consent stuff that seemed to be required. Fine, but we won`t enforce or moderate it. We are adults.
