i think this is a fascinating cognitive dissonance on display: > there is no thinking, no meditation, you’re delegating the thinking to a machine, you’re just barking what you want at it, incessantly, endlessly. why do you think software teams exist? it was exactly for that purpose for non developers to do what you described but perhaps varying degree of politeness and professionalism. > For businesses it makes sense to abandon programming in favor of delegating to agents that can do more in less time, business operators were never in the business of coding. code never had any value to them. code isn't what they interact with. I think a lot of software engineers confuse intrinsic value of the thing they produce with the interface that ultimately drives them. It was never code. And now AI agents replace a large portion of what software engineers used to do. I've already seen many shops with 20~30 full stack teams downsize by 80% . You just don't need that many people anymore. A competent engineer, AI budget can absolutely replace large teams because the size of the thing never really mattered beyond what they can intake in terms of natural language demands.
