If as GP says AI could automate 1% of a single programmer's job (the boring part where you write code), then how on earth can you derive that a single programmer could do the job of 5 with AI? It's completely illogical.

I suspect the post you’re replying to disagrees with the 1% figure.

The GP estimate is way off... If they indeed wait for input from other departments/companies 99% of the time (so they just need to actually program 5 minutes in their 8-hour workday), then they can be already thrown out of a job and have the company do with 1/10 the programmers, no AI required...

  Clearly the company needs to dedicate a programmer to wait on each customer individually. You can’t have the same person waiting for two things simultaneously.

    Can't believe companies are still single-threaded in 2023.

  Exactly!

many programmers (most?) spend hours a day coding and see it as the best part of their day?
