For now, taste and debugging still rule the day. o1 designed some code for me a few hours ago where the method it named "increment" also did the "limit-check", and "disable" functionality as side-effects. In the longer run, SWE's evolve to become these other roles, but on-steroids: - Entrepreneur - Product Manager - Architect - QA - DevOps - Inventor Someone still has to make sure the solution is needed, the right fit for the problem given the existing ecosystems, check the code, deploy the code and debug problems. And even if those tasks take fewer people, how many more entrepreneurs become enabled by fast code generation?
