I'm seeing this in some teams I am aware of. It is usually a 3-4 people team working very closely. They're not using gas-town or such, but are typically creating abstraction after abstraction for reviews and assimilating changes (usually with a claude 20x account). They are human in the loop until the system stabilizes and needs no further AI.

It was like science fiction becoming aware of this pattern, but as the OP says, this is indeed happening. Going to change the shape of tech careers for sure. my 2c.

BTW the skill to develop to direct your career towards this: build deep understanding of one part of a domain, develop thinking in abstractions and systems, follow TDD in all agentic dev (converts probabilistic to deterministic).
