> in 2026 devs write 90% of the code using natural language, through an LLM. That is literally not true - is the author speaking about what he personally sees at his specific workplace(s)? If 90% of the code at any given company is LLM-generated that is either a doomed company or a company doesn't write any relevant code to begin with. I literally cannot imagine a serious company in which that is a viable scenario.
>We are entering an era where the Brain of the application (the orchestration of models, the decision-making) might remain in Python due to its rich AI ecosystem, but the Muscle, the API servers, the data ingestion pipelines, the sidecars, will inevitably move to Go and Rust. The friction of adopting these languages has collapsed, while the cost of not adopting them (in AWS bills and carbon footprint) is rising.
This is the most silicon valley brain thing I've seen for a while
We're entering an era where I continue to write applications in C++ like I've always done because its the right choice for the job, except I might evaluate AI as an autocomplete assistant at some point. Code quality and my understanding of that code remains high, which lets me deliver at a much faster pace than someone spamming llm agent orchestration, and debuggability remains excellent
90% of code written by devs is not written by AI. If this is true for you, try a job where you produce something of value instead of some random silicon valley startup
