Yes, the path forward is not, "ok now that we can do what we were doing with fewer ppl, let's fire the rest"
Every last bit of capital/talent will be deployed till full productivity equilibrium, then unemployment begins
U want to be the most technical version of urself till that happens
I guess
Will keep saying this, but software jobs arenât going away. Agents are the single biggest form of leverage for anyone technical in history. Probably has never been a better time to be technical in terms of being able to accomplish something solo, in a team, or company.
We think that most of the worldâs software has already been built and that agents will just reduce work from an existing pie. In fact, we are about to experience 100X more software than before.
Think about how many apps you regularly use that need to get better. How many legacy on prem systems that have to get replatformed for the cloud. How many SMBs never could hire developers. How many security issues are about to be uncovered and need to get patched. How many IT organizations are about to bring automation to workflows they never could have automated. How much data is about to processed and connected in most organizations. This is all what the agents will be working on.
And every one of those agents will need a person to kick them off, manage their work, orchestrate them, and get their output into a workable and useful form. That person will generally need to be technical (or become technical quickly), and this will create a huge amount of opportunity for anyone up to the task.
