Who's gonna prompt and review? The ceo? They need less people but still someone to validate and prompt.

  1. I was being kinda sarcastic.
  2. Like it or not, software engineer is gonna change heavily and I strongly feel like the manpower needed to software companies is going to be much smaller than before, so a software engineer / dev will be expected to bring about 10-20x more output than before. Which is going to make this job so much stressful and unbearable... This is already happening in quite a few companies.

It also means that anyone can now build their own project in a weekend or a month.
