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)

False dichotomy. There's no reason it couldn't impact software as well as other things. Also, it's obviously not the only acting force.
