Really? How much money are you willing to put on the claim "LLMs are going to produce >80% of newly written production code in 5 years"? If it's less than your yearly salary, then even you don't believe your own assertion.

For github & google, I'd put my own money on it being >80% in 5 years. Maybe not a whole year's salary though, I'm a big baller

Well, you will lose but I basically don't believe your claim is anything more than hyperbolic bullshit as no one who is working as a SWE is actually spending only 1% of their time programming as per your initial comment.

some software engineers spend most of their time designing, communicating with other teams, and managing operations. It becomes the case as you get more experienced, depending on your staff engineer path.

This is a truism that every senior engineer understands. There is no way to get below 10% coding unless you move into people management/product. At this point, you are no longer a SWE (except by title, maybe).

this thread is funny because I ended up spending my whole day yesterday and today heads down coding
