🔗 Jonathan Hays: Code Boom. Talent Bust

I suspect we’ll have discovered that AI hasn’t eliminated the need for good software engineers. It’s simply changed what those engineers are capable of producing. We’ll also have spent years discouraging young people from entering the profession.

I heard someone compare the introduction of AI agents to the development of auto-pilot and fly-by-wire for aviation. Such tech didn’t kill the career prospect of pilots. On the contrary, it made them more in demand.
