Eric Siu argues that engineers using AI tools can become 10 to 1,000 times more productive than those who don't. Demand for AI-augmented engineers is rising fast, though some developers still prefer writing code by hand.

If you have AI-pilled engineers, they're doing more ultimately. People used to talk about 10x engineers. Now we're talking about 100x engineers. We're talking about 1,000x engineers. You can just do a lot more with one individual who's powered by itself. Here's a caveat though. So we have some engineers in Eastern Europe. I was talking to them recently, one of them. I was like, hey, do you know other engineers that are like you that are super AI-pilled? Because we'd like to have more people like you. We need more engineers, right? And he's like, oh no, no, no, you wouldn't want people like us. I'm like, why? He's like, because they believe that you should still write code by hand. I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, we can't have that. So yes, demand for software engineers is rising if they're AI-pilled.
