AI's Influence on Technology Adoption

The integration of AI models into the workflows of developers is affecting the adoption of new technologies, as highlighted by Declan Chidlow. He points out that biases towards specific programming languages, particularly Python and TypeScript, are emerging, influenced by how well AI tools can support their use. This shift leads developers to prioritize these languages over potentially superior alternatives due to the ease of AI assistance, marking a change in traditional decision-making criteria such as documentation and community support. The concern is that this reliance on AI may limit diversity in software development and relegate less popular languages to obscurity, ultimately shaping the landscape of future tech.
