Admittedly, I’ve gone through waves of feeling scared for the future of software engineering. I manage many people so I care about them and their futures. But the more I use AI in writing software, not just vibe coding, the more I align with this perspective. And the way I see it, when AGI does come it’s going to affect a whole lot more than the software engineering job market. That’s global societal-level impact type stuff. We’d have to reckon with if work (meaning a 9 to 5) is truly a requirement to thrive in life. Spoiler, it isn’t.

It will create more inequality. Not in the way that you think.

The best will always be the best. But the upper average and average and below will become all one and the same.

And that’s kinda how society should be really. Equal opportunity. Not equal outcome.
