Nah dude I think it’s worse than that

Old coding is done, as a workflow in teams. It’s the top down executive pressure of being non competitive as a company, and the bottom up pressure of human laziness

Show me people handwriting code à la NASA

And I mean we as coders have been trying to do this workflow for a while, I personally would refuse to code without IntelliJ magic complete

For this workflow, there’s no going back. What’s hard to imagine is AI taking over the other workflows we predict it will; Customer service AI sucks ass for me as a customer, et cetera

> For my company, I'd honestly pay $4-8k/month for Claude if I had to (it would be painful, and I'd try to get cheaper options to work first). I know some enterprise Claude users are paying that much now since they have to pay for API tokens. I am certain it's at least a 2X productivity booster for our work. Compared to the cost of hiring another developer, it's well worth it.

That enterprise cost you're willing to pay is correlated to how much developers will work for. When driving an agent, almost anyone can do it (almost no skills required).

If devs cost $1k/m, enterprises are not going to be willing to pay $4k/m for Claude.

What I am saying is, there's an equilibrium that will be reached; the price of the human driver and the AI worker will approach each other.

Where they stabilise, I still don't know, but I'd be very surprised if, in any field (not just dev), the human gets paid multiples more than the agent they are driving, as the agents get more capable.
