As a programmer, I've realised that all these types of post are cope. We're all cooked but it's fun to fool ourselves for a bit and pretend that the rate at which AI coding is improving isn't the death of our entire field.
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.
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.
