I think you will always need a button pusher. whether it is the CEO, the product manager or the developer themselves. You will need some sort of overseer who will take accountability of the system that is generated by the AI.
Okay. Is that job going to provide a competitive salary, with good benefits? More importantly, is it going to be personally fulfilling?
Software developers who have adopted agentic coding are worse than class traitors. They are actively sabotaging the entire careers future viability, and have made me ashamed to think anyone in this industry was worthy of the title "engineer".
"Compositors who have adopted Linotype machines are worse than class traitors. They are actively sabotaging the entire trade’s future viability, and have made me ashamed to think anyone in this industry was worthy of the title “printer.”"
"Weavers who have agreed to tend a fourth loom are worse than class traitors. They are actively sabotaging the entire trade’s future viability, and have made me ashamed to think anyone in this industry was worthy of the title “weaver.”"
"Handloom weavers who have adopted power looms are worse than class traitors. They are actively sabotaging the entire trade’s future viability, and have made me ashamed to think anyone in this industry was worthy of the title “weaver.”"
Yes. The only rational response to the coming AI wave is to get out of the business of selling intelligence for money. The machines will out-think you for cheaper.
