> for a lower bound of 10,000 I'm guessing it's 30+k, depending on how liberal you are with the job (eg. data engineering, SREs, etc). > the first engineer has already been replaced Realistically, many engineers never got hired because of this already. Also they've had a few rounds of layoffs, so probably plenty are fired by now. Google already was known for their use of automated code-gen long before they invented LLMs so I wouldn't be surprised if they're on the verge of major systems being gen'ed or templated with LLMs.
