Respectfully, that's a bit of a stretch. Impaired human memory and increased risk taking are coefficients that would impact far more industries than software. I think the notion is that software, in particular, seems buggier. IF these side effects of repeated COVID infection have anything to do with software bugs, I would think it's contribution would be dramatically smaller than say LLM assisted coding, rapid merging of code, lack of human review.
Just a couple of examples:
- Linux kernel ai commits (https://lunduke.substack.com/p/ai-submissions-to-linux-hits-...)
- Omarchy 4 30k lines of ai generated code (https://x.com/dhh/status/2057907663967543618)
