We keep hearing that the latest LLMs are approaching AGI. The people who run the frontier labs are warning or hinting that soon all code will be written by models. Some argue that software engineering is about much more than just coding, but you don't need nearly as many people for those other parts either.

So what happens to people who spent decades in school and on the job, who are passionate about coding and get their energy from writing code?

I don't believe in universal basic (or high) income, because that's not how the world has worked so far. I've never seen a world where all humans have equal capabilities or resources — physical strength, financial strength, anything. If everyone gets paid the same, I don't see where the motivation to work comes from. And without work, I think people's cognitive skills will decline and we'll end up completely dependent on the machines slaves to the tech.

Thinking about all this has left me feeling pretty low. For those of you in tech who still feel positive about waking up every day: what keeps you motivated?

Soon, the software industry is going to realise that all the code that was rapidly (and carelessly) generated in pursuit of "100x" productivity has become a liability and the AI that promised to free up everyone has become the core dependency, without which the system just cannot move forward.

At that point, we are going to need the "software deslopers" who are just the old software developers, the vibe-less coders, just with a new title that makes them employable once again :)

Still holding out hope!
