Somewhat integral. Drilling a well is very expensive. So you want to make sure that there is enough oil or gas there before you drill. This is done using technology.

If you are curious look up Landmark Graphics (now owned by Halliburton). They have many softwares that map the land and reservoirs which tells engineer the optimum place to drill.

Once the drill bit hits the ground, you want to get as much data as possible - gas pressure, water content, soil density, etc. They stick sensors on the drill bit which send back all kinds of data. That data needs to be stored, analyzed, and acted upon. This is done using software.

Lots of coders needed to make this happen. America's shale oil boom is basically a technology marvel more than anything else.

Partially CR but exploration is literally just as hit-or-miss as it's ever been. Plenty of dry holes getting drilled still; plenty of wildcat drillers getting rich.

The big companies working known fields do not drill very many dry holes today. And even in the exploratory phase there is a ton of data analysis, not just driving around Texas with an expensive rig blowing random holes in the ground.

Have you ever noticed how much shittier the web has become? Pretty much every web site is some bloated horror show of javascript + html + css. The front-end devs are the ones losing their jobs.

I will say it’s cut time on due diligence redactions by 95%. We just did our quarterly fill of our capital markets due diligence vault with an AI tool and it took 1/20th the usual work. It scraped all our deal docs better than an associate.

Makes sense - but also coding is probably going to have a very similar arc to electricians/auto-mechanics in the last century - they enjoyed enormous earning power and prestige when the technology was new, but then the profession degraded. It still provides a good living, of course, but more in line with a skilled trade.

I think the outcomes are bleaker than this. We went from no coding AI to Devin in about 3 years. Now imagine the AI that is going to come out of the $10 billion training runs in the next couple years.

The real hurdle is getting LLMs to the point where they can translate specifications & user feedback into a full product. Right now, they're getting pretty good at turning ideas into technical specifications, but that's the tip of the iceberg.

The lowest-hanging, highest-yielding fruit right now, believe it or not, is legal reasoning. At its core, this pretty much comes down to issue spotting, identifying the applicable laws (statutes, rules, case law, etc.), applying the laws to the facts, and arriving at some legal conclusion. This applies to transactional law and, albeit to a lesser extent, litigation (which has a performative component that transactional law lacks).

Transactional work is all political ass covering and client hand holding and the bitch work issue spotting nonsense was already handled by practice manuals and form docs that take 99% of the actual drafting out of any lawyering you do. Half the calls with inhouse counsel and the outside firm is confirming what the inhouse faggot already knows but needs your sign off on to sleep at night and keep his job if shit goes south. I haven’t been on a call where I don’t already know what the answer is going to be in years.

cr

secondhand but I’ve heard as low as single digit efficiency gain at code creation stage, no current material benefit during remainder of software lifecycle

if true and layoffs are happening anyway, may be because middle management kingdoms were spared in previous cuts and execs are emboldened/given cover to trim fat

Turd contractors are so much worse than the rest of the world it isn't funny. You really have to search to find the "good" ones; most are worse than hellosirs, much less Costa Ricans or somewhere the talent pool is pretty solid.
