You'll still need engineers. But how many?

Before: a few really knowledgeable/good ones and a lot of OK ones

A few years from now: a few really good ones

What does this mean for the labor economics? Do we reap the results of increased productivity? Or are they captured by a small set of winners in a pareto distribution?

I bet this will lead to more burnout because the job isn't fun anymore. You're supposed to steal code from other people as your day job.

At this rate it might be the dirac delta distribution.
