That's one possible future.
Another future is one in which a single AI assisted "full tech developer" can solve all the coding problems of a company within say, one week. No company will require the services of an entire "full tech developer", so society will employ roughly one freelancer / consultant per ~30 large enough companies.
That's a smaller market than today's.
- sokoloff 4y agoDo you think that, within a week, anyone could even understand all the coding problems of a company large enough to employ an SWE today?
- Yoric 4y agoI've been interviewing with a lot of companies in the past few weeks. I'll agree that one week is probably optimistic, but most of them seem to have requirements that are in fact pretty simple. Admittedly, reaching the one week stage might require better programming platforms and APIs.
