> Lots of people don't like to hear this, but if you are not using AI today in some capacity, or your company is lagging in its adoption your career is at risk, especially if you are still relatively young. This said as somebody who originally was a massive AI skeptic, but decided to give it a shot.

> Yes, you still need to know how to code. That is not going away. But there will come a time when you yourself write an order of magnitude less code than you do today because you will become more of a reviewer than a developer yourself. Software development as a role will still exist, because in essence our job is to solve problems and build software, it just happens to be we write a lot of code to do that nowadays. But we will reach a breaking point where we don't write much of the code ourselves at all, maybe just some edits, and we review orders of magnitude than we do today.

spot on - key reason behind authoring this https://ghuntley.com/multi-boxing/ - I see a future where exactly that. SWE's spend more time reviewing code than artisanally crafting it by hand. Instead of the IDE we use today being the tool, it will become something only used exceptional circumstances. Instead, our primary tool will be a code review tool (that doesn't suck) that drives agents.

There are areas (IME - React internal tooling frontends) in which the only missing piece is the 'review UI' and it isn't even that important - vibe coding is good enough. My point is I've been living in the future you speak of for the past couple months and I love it.
