What do you mean without top talent? Just because they dropped their galacticos approach didn't mean they brought up a whole squad of academy talent to do this. They do, in fact, have top talent. Just because an aging Messi and Neymar are gone and Mbappe is gone doesn't mean the rest of the squad isn't top talent.
PSG just proves that over time money conquers football.
I had a similar take after my first experience using AI to help me code. I put it aside as a curiosity. But when I went back recently, it's not that it's perfect, but the improvement in that time was massive. Does that mean it will continue to improve at that pace? Not necessarily, but we haven't seen the end state yet, so anything we say is just a judgment on what we have at the moment.
But do you use it now to help you code and if yes, how? The negative effects of relying to heavily on AI while coding are greatly discussed, hence I am wondering what a „good“ use case would be.

Really depends on your perspective. For some executives, a "good" use case may be the equivalent of burning goodwill to generate cash: push devs to use AI extensively on everything, realize a short term productivity bump while their skills atrophy (by haven't atrophied yet), then let the next guy deal with the problem of devs that have fully realized the "negative effects of relying to heavily on AI."
That’s a pretty dark perspective but it would imply that those executives are some kind of evil geniuses that grasp the extent of this situation. I personally try to count this kind of behavior on the statistics one of the ignobels present: 80% of asked uni professors felt they’re above the average (iq wise).
I haven't used it directly on anything except little test projects. But my general view is that it's like being an editor as opposed to a writer. I have to have mastered the craft of writing to edit someone else's copy.
I couldn’t agree more, thanks for answering! Anecdotally I’ve witnessed people using and talking big about ML/ LLM‘s while being in shock when learning about the fact that there are fundamentally basic statistical concepts behind those.
Not OP, but I specifically like to use AI to explain obtuse sections of code that would take me longer periods of time to understand by reading.
If I have a bug reported and I’m not sure where it is, pasting the bug report into an LLM and asking it to find the bug has yielded some mixed results but ultimately saved me time.
Interestingly enough, I also was wondering if I could improve my efficiency by condensing written text. The idea would be to remove the usual padding or „slop“ you have within most of the modern web environment.
Wouldn’t you loose a bit of that brain power if you stop to make those connections yourself while trying to understand those code sections?
I've been trying blackbox.ai in VSCode the last little while. In my very limited experience it either gets it close to right on the first few tries or gets stuck in a kind of testing loop, making more an ornate tests that still miss one critical bug.
It's the first sort of "magic wand" coding AI I've used, where in the past I just would ask questions of ChatGPT or Gemini.
So it just must be the case that Rust has more jobs because that smells right to you? Even compared to Go which has found a nice niche in networking?
If Rust is as good as its evangelists say it is, we won't have to worry about how the stats smell, we'll see it, and it won't rely on some "Cnile" conspiracy to keep it down either.
I think you've got the parent backward: they're saying that Rust "should" have far less jobs than these other technologies.
If your parent is wrong, happy to be corrected. I thought it was interesting that we read the post in completely opposite ways, and I think both readings can be accurate. I based my reading on a vague remembering that I think the parent isn't a fan of Rust, which is fuzzy and also may be wrong!
Having kids isn't "making people unhappy" because they move. It's a rewarding undertaking that, like most things that are truly rewarding, is quite difficult and requires you to struggle.
