Gergely Orosz: Virtually Everyone in Software Flipped on AI Around Early 2026
mipsytipsy · x · 2026-09-18
Gergely Orosz (retweeted by mipsytipsy) says it's odd to be surprised by techies changing their minds on AI between 2025 and 2026 — virtually everyone doing software development shifted their view around early 2026.
He attributes the inflection to the "winter break models breakthrough" and points to mipsytipsy having said the same. The substance: the developer community's turn toward AI coding was a synchronized, industry-wide shift, not a few KPI-chasing opinions.
