Enrique Dans' article, "Velocidad sin brújula: la industrialización del trabajo del desarrollador en la era de la IA (el caso Amazon)," examines how artificial intelligence is transforming software development, particularly within Amazon.

Dans argues that while AI can boost productivity, companies risk degrading the developer's role into mere code correction if they prioritize efficiency gains over investment in training and a revised definition of productivity.

He highlights Amazon's approach as potentially turning developers into "pickers" similar to warehouse workers, emphasizing speed over creativity.

The comments section reflects a range of opinions on this issue, with some sharing similar concerns about the potential for job degradation and others expressing optimism about AI's capabilities while acknowledging the importance of responsible implementation.
