I call BS.
Okay, this situation might actually be feasible for simple applications, but at its current state, I question the AI's ability to maintain apps that grow in complexity.
I look forward to it being a productivity tool, but anything that's complicated, (enterprise apps, caching layers, database indexing) AI can't solve at least for the next 10 years.
We already have armies of H1Bs writing shit code that's brittle as hell and soaked in bugs. Shipping today at a big tech org you and your services probably depend on.
Get ready for massive technological infrastructure failures on the levels never before seen. Think bank accounts getting corrupted, pacemakers on runaway, traffic lights with 2 million second wait times, hundred of warrants for various people all redirected and renamed to one poor soul, and more.
That just means you can let underperformers go. And maybe achieve more with fewer competent workers.
Personally I think a lot of people that are in software don't belong there, but we really didn't need ChatGPT to push them out. The current wave of layoffs did that just fine.
