One where articles like this talk about a 10x increase in productivity, where the sentiment on HN is that all software can now be vibe coded without review, where AGI is right around the corner.
And another reality where we don't really see any measurable difference in productivity betweens that have gone all in on LLMs and those that haven't, where the current SOTA models still produce bad quality that needs a lot of guidance and revision, where mediocre engineers that never cared about quality in the first place now use these tools to produce even more mediocre code, where the most talented engineers get bogged down reviewing low quality LLM-generated PRs, and so on.
Maybe a bit exaggerated, but OP definitely lives in a very different reality from the one I am seeing. So different that I find it extremely hard to believe.
