They Say AI Will Replace Programmers. I Think AI Will Mass-Produce Them Instead
github.comagree; ai will eliminate programmer use about as well as laser printers eliminated paper use.
but the business process transformations will still be hell
true the bottleneck was never "typing code", it was aligning business logic, constraints, and changing requirements. What AI does change is the cost structure: instead of one programmer spending a week, you can spawn 10 parallel agents and explore solutions in hours. The processes stay painful, but the iteration speed becomes insane and that changes who can build things.
