> Until then it’ll probably just become increasingly more competitive.

Will you? If your competition is becoming more competitive too, no one is becoming more competitive. Just the number of engineers required to cover the market needs shrinks significantly.

That's what I mean: fewer jobs for the same number of engineers would mean greater competition for each job.

And given how much of an accelerant GPT is, I think learning how to prompt and validate responses will be increasingly important.

For example, if you compare an average CS grad with a 4y career to an average CS grad with a 6 year career, the more experienced developer might be 5-20% more efficient.

But with GPT, an engineer who writes amazing prompts versus might be 2-4x more efficient than an engineer that writes average prompts and has to spend time fixing code, debugging or re-prompting.
