Software is rapidly being commoditized
for a long time software has been the lifeblood of the tech startup ecosystem, but it seems like it would be unsustainable to build a business on if anybody can spin up a team of agents and copy something with some effort in rapid time
i never really thought of developers as the 'middlemen' between computers and people but i guess thats true and therefore they are ripe for automation
as a developer it feels really demoralizing to realize that your skillset is obsolete and that even if i moved to the product or ai research side of things that im not sure the whole space isn't washed out
in the past more software has not brought down the value of software, just accelerated its advancements but i think we're seeing a shift here and i also don't think there are any limits on the kinds of software that the models can't create, in fact, i think they can create unbelievable software that humans would never be able to make by hand in the long tail
let me know what you guys think about this and how you're planning to pivot if you are planning that
i personally want to continue to be pushing innovation forward and found something that brings value to the world, learning whatever i have to along the way whether thats hardware or physics or everything about a domain/business area
