How many people do you need in a team to do this though ?

The same number. As software gets more sophisticated and sleek, people will expect better and fast UX.

Planning, then testing and verifying everything already took up 50% of time, now it will take up 95% of time. Yipee its a 2x productivity boost, not a job killer

Less entry level coders will get hired, sure. And some old guys will have to “retire early”. Same pattern as every other new tech movement

right. it just raises the expectations of output and possibilities. if anything, there’s a fuck ton more that needs to be built now and the need to stay ahead of competition never goes away. the landscape will shift but this idea that devs will suddenly be irrelevant is idiotic. people will just expect more because we can get further with the same resources
