"Let’s pretend you’re the only person at your company using cocaine.

You decide you’re going to impress your employer, and work for 8 hours a day at 10x productivity. You knock it out of the park and make everyone else look terrible by comparison. [...]

In this scenario, you capture 100% of the value from your adopting cocaine."

@jwz That's actually pretty much exactly his point too. He explicitly states:

"It would seem that we are addicted to a new drug, and we don’t understand all of its effects yet. But one of them is massive fatigue, every day.

"[...] is genuinely addictive. The better you get at it, the more you want to use it. It’s simultaneously satisfying, frustrating, and exhilarating. It doles out dopamine and adrenaline shots like they’re on a fire sale.

"Many have likened it to a slot machine. You pull a lever with each prompt, and get random rewards and sometimes amazing “payouts.” No wonder it’s addictive."

Even the fucking boosters are talking about it as an addiction that capital is exploiting because it lights up money sign in their eyes. This is how the boosters are describing it.

If you're not doing cocaine, you're going to be left behind.

@jwz Well, okay. Some of the jittery boundary-pushing and not wanting to go to bed is because of the amount they're paying for it each day.

In the light of the now generally-accepted fact it broadly works for coding, railing against it is cope with its own sell-by date.

In the end if its output can be made maintainable and passes Coverity and so on, it's now the default way forward. Whether people currently getting paid to use it are still there sucking down their money or not...
