The enormous question here is if AI works the way these people say then surely competing companies will emerge that are enormously smaller and more agile, thus eating their lunch completely. The fact this doesn't appear to be happening suggests something different is in play.
Token generation speed is too slow for that to happen. One can’t easily replicate an enterprise.
It was never the job as long as the profession was called "software engineer" and not "coder".
Netlify CTO in 6-18 months: that vibe project that caused me to say writing code is no longer the job got so unmaintainable that I hired a team of 3 to take it over. They're rewriting it by hand because tokens are too expensive now. Nobody could have seen this coming
Looking at Dana Lawson's career on linked in, it looks like they never spent time being an actual developer. Seems fitting that a completely out of touch elite in the US would make such statements.
I wonder how many people saying similar things have the same background, but having said that she was VP of Engineering at GitHub, and VP of Engineering at Heptio.

Dont use the word 'elite' when describing people like this, it implies they are the best at something, which in my experience has never been the case, unless you count bullshitting and gaslighting.

And started their career as a sysadmin. I don't know Dana at all, but some of the best kernel and networking people I've met got their start as sysadmins.

Petty personal attack. A technical manager who manages developers should know very well the job of their reports. "Out of touch elite"? a MAGA-like populism view in a place where MAGA is (rightly) looked down on.
Do you think the direction of technology in the US is good? Do you think technology is consolidated in the US? Do you think qualified people should be making these decisions and not vanity plate chasers?
