This guy's head will explode when he realizes that AI has been better at coding than humans for years and yet software engineering employment % has barely twitched...

? Claude code didn't get very useable until about 4.5 - and its still not better than the best humans - only faster to first implementation.

You must have a different definition of most of the words you used than I do.

Claude code? Who’s talking about Claude code? I am talking about generative AI. It has been better than humans at coding for years. It is also currently much better at things like taste, stakeholder communication, and literally everything else conceivable. Yet here we are and employment is pretty much unchanged. It’s a paradox imo.
