Jevons Paradox

I worked for Avery a million years ago and completely botched my time in that job, losing me that opportunity and subsequent opportunities bound with his future projects. And I will regret it until the day I die.

I hate him. I hate him so much because he says really insightful things. He says just boringly because he's talking and he feels like talking at that moment. It's exhausting. It's exhausting to have had access to temporarily someone that smart and to no longer have access to them really and then to continue to be like taunted by their intelligence from afar.

What a dick. What a dick. I hate that fucking guy.

In an interview I saw on LinkedIn. That I will not go find because I don't even know how you reference content on LinkedIn and I would never do that to my website. But he mentioned, in effect, Jevons Paradox in the context of AI reducing the cost of software development, or software developers rather, that are going to exist. And it's so obvious.

I honestly have not heard anyone speak about or reference this specific phenomenon in this context before. And yet it's obvious. And right in your face. And how is this not being talked about more? This is completely reframed the way I think about the way that AI is invading the space that I work in.

Fuck this guy, honestly.
