Not sure about that golden end state. Mine would be being in a room surround by screens with AI agents coding, designing, testing, etc. I would be there in the center giving guidance, direction, applying taste, etc… All conversational, wouldn’t need to touch the keyboard 99% of the time. That's what I want and look forward one day

Is this a me thing, or a millenial thing? I hate using voice for anything. I hate getting voice messages, I hate creating them. I get cold sweats just thinking about having to direct 10 AI Agents via voice. Just give me a keyboard and a bunch of screens, thanks.

I'm another millennial that doesn't like them. I type pretty fast, around 100 WPM, so outside environments where I can't type (e.g. while driving), I just never saw the appeal. Typing has a way of helping me shape my thoughts precisely that I couldn't replicate with first thinking about what I want to say, and then saying it precisely.

But I can appreciate that sitting down in front of a keyboard and going at it with low typing speed seems unnatural and frustrating for probably the majority of people. To me, in front of a keyboard is a fairly natural state. Somebody growing up 15 years before (got by without PCs in their early years) or after me (got by with a smartphone) probably doesn't find it as natural.

The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview release, and have seen the direction over time. The "golden" end state of coding agents is that you give it a Feature Request (EG Jira ticket), and it gives you a PR to review and give feedback on. Cursor, windsurf, etc, are dead ends in tha…

In this "end state" what would the AI mind machine even have to code?

It seems like the Holy Grail here has become: "A business is one person, the CEO, sitting at his desk doing deals and directing virtual and physical agents to do accounting, run factories, manage R&D, run marketing campaigns, everything." That's it. A single CEO, (maybe) a lawyer, and a big AI/robotics bill = every business. No pesky employees to pay. That's the ultimate end game here, that's what these guys want. Is…

Keep going, the end end goal is that even the customers are AI. And the company doesn't sell anything or do anything, it just trades NFTs and stocks and digital goods. And the money isn't real, it's all crypto. This is the ideal, to create nothing, to sell nothing to no one, and for somehow that to mean you created "value" to society and therefore should be rewarded in material terms. And greatly at that, the people…

"This is I guess what happens when you follow capitalism to its logical conclusion"

This.

I am amazed that people usually are blind to this trajectory.

The moment I am able to outsource work for Jira tickets to a level that AI actually delivers a reasonable pull request, many corporate managers will seriously wonder why keep the offshoring team around.

Why would they pay you six figures to outsource to AI when they could pay offshore a fraction of that to do the same?

Because of human factors, no complains, can do overtime as much as electricity is on, no unions, and everything else that a good CEO to the whims of exponential growth for their shareholder likes to do so much.

The only AI feature I want added to WhatsApp is transcribing voice messages!

I don't get why this isn't a feature for a long time yet

There is but needs to be enabled. Go to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts and turn the feature on

Including the management team?

Yes. You are seriously overestimating the power most management has. If ownership could build a company without them, they would in a heartbeat. Management only appears to have power because ownership wants workers to point their ire to them instead of at the real power.

I guess their customers will be AI, too, at some point? Where does this lead?

The valuable skills will be creativity, taste, curation, prioritisation etc. All those skills can be applied to engineering as well. What makes Fabrice Bellard great? Its not just technical skill I think. I think some of the most successful people will be a subset of engineers but also Steve Jobs types and artists

Most companies don't care about developers of their level, rather they offshore to the lowest bid.

Except that AI agents are the new offshoring. The new hotshot developer will be someone who understands what clients want deeply, knows the domain, has sufficient engineering skill to understand the system that needs to be built and is able to guide swarms of coding agents efficiently.

Having all this in one person is super valuable because you lose a lot of speed and fidelity in information exchange between brains. I wouldn't be surprised if someone could hit like 30-50 kloc/day within a few years. I can hit 5-10kloc/day doing this stuff depending on a lot of factors, and that's driving ~2 agents at a time mostly. Imagine driving 20.

If that’s the future, that means a massive reduction in software engineers no? What you are describing would require one technical product manager, not a team of software engineers.

Or a massive increase in the amount of software that gets written. If the cost of writing software goes down, demand for it will presumably go up...

Only if there is something for that software to do.
