Now, I can still see work out there.

It's just more of a question around whose going to survive, and what will their roles look like?

Lets say all devs out there start really leveraging AI tools and they start deliverying work at a crazy pace.

What does the industry look like?

Is everyone now deliverying crazy amounts of work, or have teams been downsized and restructured.

I suspect this is the reason for hiring freezes.

Putting my business stakehoder hat on. Here's where thing get spicy.

Lets say the teams pumping out work.

I now have to worry about keeping the team fed with work otherwise they need to keep themselves busy.

And if they become idle or I can't keep them fed with work. Do I need to adjust the team?

I'll give you an example.

Lets say we're building feature with some tricky scenarios.

Without AI tools estimate is 3 days.

With AI tools (ie. screenshots and prompts), even when the generated result isn't perfect, its now less than a day to complete.

More work, faster. Awesome right?

That was my original thinking and then when I saw the posts about Saleforce and Zuck talking about hiring freezes and my mind flipped.

For example, I'm involved in large projects that don't factor in AI tools.

When I do factor in AI tool usage, even when not perfect. The time required is slashed.

Will do!

I’ve got some ideas I want to try out tonight. 😉

Couple things Ayush.

All have their pros/cons. Serve different purposes.

Bolt/Loveable - In browser and great to get a fully-working MVP off the ground

Cursor/Windsurf - Code editors with AI for when you need to get your hands dirty coding

If you have an existing project. Go Cursor/Windsurf.

Overall, pretty impressed with Gemini 2.0.

The it returns really deep results with Grounding turned on.

Can only imagine the type of projects people will come up with.

Really exciting stuff.

Good question!

Did comparison between Gemini 1.5/2.0 Flash with Grounding.

Asked for Gemini to give me a comprehensive list of public pools in/around the area.

Thoughts:

- 2.0 returns more results
- 2.0 returns a lot faster
- 1.5 results appear a lot more restrained

Check the screenshot out.

If you want to try Google Gemini 2.0 Flash out yourself.

Go to aistudio.google.com and you have a look at the screenshot to see where you can turn on Ground (aka Google Search).
