The lead developer of Claude Code hasn’t handwritten code in 6 months and believes software engineering as a discipline will disappear. It will be replaced by builders as PMs, designers and managers can use AI to code.

He believes we’ll see 100x more builders than we saw software engineers.

I liken this to how smartphones mean we may have fewer professional photographers or videographers but millions more people making their living with photos and videos they’ve taken.

Claude Code's creator on the end of the software engineer

Anthropic's Boris Cherny tells me major job loss due to automation really is coming — but job creation is, too. PLUS: the Pope's AI encyclical, and Trump abandons an AI executive order

@carnage4life Are there 100x more people who need bespoke software written? Is the idea every task software could be applied to is handled by one-off disposable apps written from a verbal spec and nothing is re-used or maintained?
