I read the page and actually laughed out loud. Their "roadmap" literally says 1. Build coding agents (currently working on this) 2. Make the agents superintelligent 3. ???? 4. PROFIT
Right as I was learning about Q-Learning in college, they published Deep Q-Networks / AlphaGo. It really lit a spark in me.
What's the reason behind this? If agents can code, doesn't that effectively take away your job as an engineer and even your work? I mean, if I can use your agent to build myself your company, how are you going to survive in the future?

If these tools get to a point where they redefine software development (they unequivocally have not redefined software lifecycles at all companies I have witnessed) then they will build up dependencies for these tools at the enterprise level while slowly ratcheting up the prices for all tiers. Finally they'll reduce alternative development options and features, requiring access to these tools to compete at a high level.
I don't think they'll ever be so good that they beat a truly great software engineer. But they'll get into the 60th or whatever percentile where they become an honest player in the off shoring conversation.
Before all this happens software engineer salaries and soft power will tank, purely off the rhetoric used as a shield so the executives can avoid the guillotine.
Remember we absolutely cannot unionize because then we'll earn less money. No matter what we must not unionize.

Do you guys wargame out the best case scenario? Like, if everything goes exactly as you plan, what is life like for an average kid born in 2030?
We are about to find out that if you let a human read every book, then only let her play games and code programs, what is going to happen. Would she have general intelligence just like everyone else?

Worst case: Terminator
Do you really want more technologists to also be politicians?
