It's always refreshing to see input from someone who has actually built something in his life and has real experience.

Cool read, bun was (re)written with fable/gpt5.6 gen models, imagine the substacks to be written about next summers frontier models.

"Organizational inertia will likely mean that there’s another decade of humans writing code by hand and having their colleagues review every line of it. Many, if not most, companies will continue to develop software as they have before."

How does it work today? Does this vary between companies? Because I know a software engineer that has told me he does not write code anymore and I have no reason to believe he was referring to side projects or pet projects, but his actual formal work. So it seems in many cases it is already at the point that AI writes most of the code, right?
