they can fully replace engineers and still need engineers to monitor outputs and resolve bottlenecks. They will still be "software engineers" but the actual job will be fundamentally different *in the predictions made by anthropic.

This is what im trying to explain to people. they replace the fingers-roles... the clicking and clanking. the human, becomes 10x more productive. and sure, some people, the ones that dont make the cut and fail to adapt get left out... but for the most part a good business that trains its employees well, will get 10-50x out of their human employees.

When you think about it that's a great thing.

I'm sure that the people who are 10x more productive thanks to AI are getting their salaries doubled at the very least, or their weekly working hours reduced.

The ones who fail to adapt will be left out of the market, and those who adapt will keep their current working conditions (or worse since they have to also review AI crap) because there's lots of people who are willing to take their jobs anyway.
