If the cost of writing software goes down, demand for it will presumably go up...
That's exactly what everyone is hoping for. Well, everyone except software engineers, of course
I don't understand the pleasure of putting people out of work and the pain on people's lives and careers but I guess that's just me.
All those skills can be applied to engineering as well. What makes Fabrice Bellard great? Its not just technical skill I think.
I think some of the most successful people will be a subset of engineers but also Steve Jobs types and artists
Having all this in one person is super valuable because you lose a lot of speed and fidelity in information exchange between brains. I wouldn't be surprised if someone could hit like 30-50 kloc/day within a few years. I can hit 5-10kloc/day doing this stuff depending on a lot of factors, and that's driving ~2 agents at a time mostly. Imagine driving 20.
