I couldn’t read the full article but it raises a good point about using AI for dashboards and creating charts. Lots of people work in the jobs in which the requirement is to literallly pull the data and create nice looking dashboards.
This job is clearly going to be modified in some way.
We finally have a legitimate way to query data using natural language and create dashboards. I don’t know what the point of learning sql is now - at least for olap users.
if ChartGPT was the iPhone moment for AI, then Claude Code may the iPhone 5 stage, and as the article points out there will be another explosion point likely the iPhone 6 Plus stage, where the usage really explode.
And to think we are limited by Compute Power even when we throw money at it, along with so many improvements in the pipeline and low hanging fruit. Scary to think what the future will be like, especially in terms of jobs. I have already seen some of our department cutting down 10-15% simply because something like dashboard now requires far less time to do.
HN often focuses on whether LLM cane take over or replaces the job of programmers, it is actually outside tech world which is getting hit the hardest.
I don’t understand the Claude Code worship. The Claude models are good. Claude Code is nothing special, there are a dozen other agentic coding CLIs just like it. CC has terrible sandboxing, and encourages vibe coding by not giving you the opportunity to review diffs. Zed’s ACP protocol enables a better workflow but I still don’t like having my editor call out to some crappy JavaScript tool, I want something integrated. And now Anthropic disallow us from using our subscriptions with alternative tools, if you don’t want to go bankrupt from API usage, you’re forced to consume their slop.
