lol you’re a developer so I can see why you’re desperately making this argument and hope it lasts.

I’m a CEO and I don’t see this at all. There will be more consolidation for whom the economics are viable to pay good wage rates. The rest? Nah.

The crap ones will be out of a job. The best ones will fight fiercely amongst each other to keep their jobs and existing wage rates. Let alone increase.

“ However, the top devs will earn more than ever. ”

No they won’t. Productivity does not determine the wage rate.

This reward function goes against the essence of machinery - there is no reward function in machines. That’s what so great about them.

This has been true for god knows how long?

Steve jobs said it - the difference between the average and best software engineer is a huge.

The best software engineers aren’t going away at all. The shittier ones will be using llm’s more so and eventually be out of a job as llm’s improve.
