Many or even most software engineers are experts in their own codebases though, which means a large proportion of engineers are getting high value out of AI.
What’s not clear to me is: if writing more code per engineer is possible, does that result in fewer engineers or just more software, especially in areas that traditionally got squeezed: UX, testing, DevEx, documentation, etc. Perhaps the bar just gets raised?
