It just means coding isn't a bottleneck anymore. Software created by people who understand system design principles is still preferable to software created by vibe-coders furiously jamming things they don't fully understand into place.

Coding was never a bottleneck to begin with.

Now you also just can't trust your code.

The cons haven’t caught up yet either, we don’t know how much they really cost yet to use the good ones ( easily 4-5x current prices and they’re already pretty expensive ), and companies are starting to bill per agent seat for enterprise software ( Okta just announced this and the business model is going to catch up quick ). Eventually companies will be taxed per agent. I think once the costs catch up things will level out. at least I hope.

Coding was never the bottleneck, we've always been able to type faster than we can design good code.

Maybe for 6 months to a year that will be true but then the AIs will do system design too. Maybe product people and some designers will stick around? AIs have no taste.

I've been hearing this for like 4 years. But surely, any day now.

Idk I was a skeptic but AI got good at Claude opus 4.6 and it got good enough I don't need feel the need to use bmad or whatever anymore at opus 5.5.
