On a shorter timeline than you'd think none of working with these tools will look like this.

You'll be prompting and evaluating and iterating entirely finished pieces of software and be able to see multiple attempts at each solve at once, none of this deep in the weeds fixing a bug stuff.

We're rapidly approaching a world where a lot of software will be being made without an engineer hire at all, maybe not the hardest most complex or novel software but a lot of software that previously required a team of 3-15 wont have a single dev.

My current estimate is mid 2026

my current estimate is 2030. because we can barely get a JS/TS application to compile after a year of dependency updates.

our current popular stack is quicksand.

unless we're talking about .net core, java, Django and more of these stable platforms.
