This event will please many programmers who are currently afraid of being left without a job, showing them that they are not in danger.

Yep. Companies will soon find out that their savings in dev time has an increase in BA and testing.

There will be developers but less senior/principle engineers. Again, this is just them using AI to justify the downward pressure of labor wages.

Nothing gives programmer bigger sense of future job security than trying vibe-coding with a "frontierest" model and looking at the code. Especially once it starts changing existing code. Ah. And the fake tests. And those grandiose coments. Oh. It is quite marvellous.

I just wonder if companies will just instantly fold and sink once their internal slop pressure causes hull breach, or will they call slopbusters.

The “AI isn’t as much of a threat as you think” articles that were very clearly written by AI feel extremely dystopian.
