I’d feel more threatened if they had a model with persistent memory and realtime adaptability. But even then its not clear if it’ll replace engineers. We’re still far from that. Until then other tech might emerge like lab grown brains, quantum chips and what not

Right! GraphRAG, VectorDBs, larger context windows, MCP servers, “tools”, “skills”, and now “using the cli as a user” still havent really solved some of the inherent flaws of even the latest frontier models. SLMs and fining tuning gives me hope on addressing the learning part of machine learning. At least a little more

Right. It doesn’t need parity with developers, it just needs to be cheap enough to justify the replacement. Also, there are an army of developers right now trying to make it happen, building guardrails and frameworks and even new languages to enable it. If you are an “ok” developer and you don’t have a plan B, you’re going to be hurting an a few years.
