Besides a standard plain old rebrand - will there be any tangible benefit / gain from this move? Any reason for the rebrand to begin with?

I was having ads played even with the most expensive Spotify subscription a few years ago because ... feel this: The ads were CHOSEN BY THE END CLIENT, not Spotify itself as a legal entity. Needless to say that I am no longer using Spotify

What do you mean "only the tests would take a few thousand days"? Did running the test suite take 10 years? Like literally what exactly do you mean?

Some sort of an AI crash / bubble bursting is expected to be honest - now if that will take the rest of the US economy as well.... debatable. Any strong opinions on this?

Me personally: absolutely not - and I fundamentally do not understand the need for something like this. I would never use such a tool under any possible circumstance knowing what I know about the current technology underpinning these clanke

So ... will the crash be bigger that the one causing The Great Depression or smaller? Any bets?

Yes OK, but that was not the point that I was trying to make. You are developing in a language + framework that you are not familiar with, without having any human feedback in the process at all - see where I am going with this? Even with a

So let me get this straight - you vibe code, make what you consider as necessary changes to the LLM-generated code, create PRs that get to be reviewed by another AI tool (Copilot), potentially make changes based on Copilot's suggestion

> in 2026 devs write 90% of the code using natural language, through an LLM. That is literally not true - is the author speaking about what he personally sees at his specific workplace(s)? If 90% of the code at any given company is LLM-g

I doubt Americans will even pick up the phone or respond to LinkedIn messages / emails when they will se the budgets for the software Engineering roles in the EU. I am saying that as an European, just to be clear.

They REALLY want people to become more tech-savvy and to learn how to create their own VPNs using cheap VMs instances from __INSERT_CLOUD_PROVIDER_HERE__, don't they?

"suspects".... they are not 100% sure guys, there is only a vague suspicion that "some" users "might" Can't believe how low Microsoft have sunk and how fast in the last few years

Curious what the long-term effects from the current LLM-based "AI" systems embedded in virtually everything and pushed aggressively will be in let's say 10 years, any strong opinions or predictions on this topic?

Very well explained - thank you!

OK so in this case how do you set the price? Based on the final solution to be delivered? Can you give one (or a few) concrete examples by any chance? I am not sure if I fully understood what you meant exactly with your (detailed) reply.
