You clearly don't know what is happening in software.

In a recent survey of 15,000 devs, the large majority of code was already being written either fully or partially with AI https://blog.jetbrains.com/research/2026/08/how-much-code-do-developers-really-let-agents-write/

Oh, I am unfortunately aware of the psychosis that is sweeping the developers world. But I have a suspicion that it's possibly a fad, and this number isn't actually a representative number, or at least wouldn't be in the future.
Like, "number of tokens used" being a metric in large companies couldn't not effect this self-report.

So our options are

  1. The majority of developers and software companies are idiots and are using tools that aren't effective.
  2. Developers and software companies are adopting tools en masse because those tools work and are worth the cost

Clearly one of those is far far more likely to be true than the other.
