I suggest to try Claude Code out and see for yourself. Solving problems is now cost fraction of the time. What took hours/days before, now might take MINUTES., it's insane.
That's why anyone suggesting AI won't take your jobs is delusional. We will need significantly less developer time.
Or, as has typically been the case in IT, the pie will get bigger.
Maybe I'll program my oven to cook the pizza at a slightly lower temperature, but crisp the living carbon out of it for the final 90 seconds. Just like I'm doing manually now, but less prone to errors because I ignored the pizza while browsing HN and can smell it bur.......
I think developers will just do more. Already in a team of 10 programmers there’s a few who don’t do very much. I think they will be gone. And a 1x programmer becomes a 10x programmer using AI.
I think there will be more work for developers, but it will be harder to slack off.
