It was easier for me to think about the future of autonomous software development before it was the popular thing. I am easily influenced.

I obviously believe that programming agents raise the floor of software development and commodify an incredible amount of labor that used to be highly-skilled and valued. It’s all anyone is talking about. But it is not obvious to me that the ceiling stayed put; that we were at peak software deployment and complexity and all that is left is to do that faster.
