This article seems to conveniently ignore the fact that the latest models have essentially solved coding.
I think at base the point might be entire companies firing their employees because they think they can replace them with AI, has been a bit of an overshoot. And only seven percent of AI implementations in enterprise are fully scoped.
Firing everyone is lunacy. I think this revolution is here to stay though, and SWE workflows are going to crystallize around "building the agent systems that build the product" rather than "building the product".
