I think you don’t really get the idea of engineering. The job is not to spit out code (but even here 10 or even 100 junior-mid developers will not deliver complex enough product without proper guidance from advanced people) - the job is to create a solution. Clients don’t care how exactly it is done, they pay for end result.

Sure, but once the solution is built, why would a company keep paying someone externally just to watch/control it? Won’t the future be about having an AI agent that can be fine-tuned to your company’s needs through natural language?"
> just to watch/control it

I think that you don't realize how maintaining software products work

Who is going to watch/control the agent and make sure it's doing the right work?
