| I can't think of more boring than marginal improvements on coding tasks to be honest. I want GenAI to become better at tasks that I don't want to do, to reduce the unwanted noise from my life. This is when I'll pay for it, not when they found a new way to cheat a bit more the benchmarks. At work I own the development of a tool that is using GenAI, so of course a new better model will be beneficial, especially because we do use Claude models, but it's still not exciting or interesting in the slightest. |

| What if coding is that unwanted task? Also, what are the tasks you are referring to, specifically? |

| ▲ | jetsetk a day ago | parent | next [-] | | Why would coding be that unwanted task if one decided to work as a programmer? People's unwanted tasks are cleaning the house, doing taxes etc. | | |
| ▲ | atonse a day ago | parent [-] | | But the value in coding (for the overwhelming majority of the people) is the product of coding (the actual software), not the code itself. So to most people, the code itself doesn't matter (and never will). It's what it lets them actually do in the real world. |
