Not particularly surprising nor new. Pretty sure it came up already in some content from Gergely several months ago.
Interesting: I am hearing both inside Meta and inside Google AI coding models simply don't work nearly as well as they do outside:

Models work great on greenfield projects and when using standard tooling.

Both Meta and Google have monoliths and non-standard tooling!

🏎️ While Swift was originally created for iOS/macOS apps, many might not realize that at Apple we run Swift on the server to operate massive services, on Linux, serving billions of requests per day. Check out our VP's keynote at AWS re:Invent for details youtu.be/JeUpUK0nhC0?...

“To the company’s (Meta) disappointment, “people who stopped using Facebook for a week reported lower feelings of depression, anxiety, loneliness and social comparison,” internal documents said.”

You don’t say!!

There’s a reason why WhatsApp, the Google apps and more haven’t adopted Liquid Glass.

Apple, just revert Liquid Glass please. It'll be easier.

I started migrating our iOS stack away from Fastlane this summer.

3 months later, it's done! 🚀

This incredible milestone wouldn't have been possible this quickly without a massive assist from GitHub Copilot & friends.

To me, this is a great example of how AI can help move faster.
