you know how we have clay and everyone can just make their own pots but we ended up with:
1. people who make pots as a career
2. people who buy pots to use
3. people who make their own pots a.k.a diy-ers
i suspect these are just diy-ers but most people will still just buy.
Talked with a few folks inside of AI labs (OpenAI, Anthropic) about what they think of the future of software engineering.
The “closer” to shipping production code engineers are, the less they believe software engineering will be “solved” fully by AI. The opposite true as well
only realizing this now:
you either build with Agents completely and just get things done, or you build with AI suggestions, plans + asking for snippets and edits.
no in-between where you build with agents and actually read/review the outputs - just a waste of time.
