I’ve come to appreciate that delivering software is not just having a few “10x developers”. One needs QA, marketing, field engineers, and other roles. It really is a group effort.
If 90% of the software engineers and QA were replaced by someone dispensing their intent to an AI, what’s the rest supposed to do?
