Not to be that agentic coding guy, but I think this will become less of a problem than our historic biases suggest.

For context, I just built a streaming markdown renderer in Swift because there wasn’t an existing open source package that met my needs, something that would have taken me weeks/months previously (I’m not a Swift dev).

Porting all the C libraries you need isn’t necessarily an overnight task, but it’s no longer an insurmountable mountain in terms of dev time.

My favorite part is the AI will still estimate projects in human-time.

“You’re looking at a multi-week refactor” aaaaand it’s done

Very high quality comment that is being downvoted unfairly because it defends AI. HN is on the wrong side of history on this one.
