Meta/Google/Anthropic report 75%+ of coding is now AI. For every engineer orchestrating AIs -- X will be let go -- but at what ratio 3:1? 5:1? 10:1? Seems like its at least 3.

Of course Anthropic is going to report whatever they want to sell more shovels. This metric from an AI provider is not interesting.
Actually not worried about unemployment. This is an awesome development thing - called technological progress.

PS: Compare Assembly with Python - for sure the ration is more then 10x. Still we need much more devs compared to early days. For me the question is what the future software dev looks like (if the job still exists).
