The "AI changes coding" discourse assumes software remains an artifact you build, just cheaper and faster. But all forms of technical scale are migrating into the model as we speak. Soon software will stop being a thing you make and become a substrate you interact with. Self-developing, self-maintaining, self-securing. Guardrails, liability, and distribution will be managed by the model companies. Only the clarity about what is actually needed will remain for the humans.
