Makes you as a software dev irrelevant for one I would guess.

100%. Once the cost of the context window lessens as it naturally will, as well as the window itself increases then you will have the entire code base in the AI memory. Then literally anyone, a PM, CEO, lunch lady etc. Could add whatever feature requested in plain english in seconds.

Only value left would be in cutting edge research but that is a very hard area to get into frankly. Maybe IoT could be something.

Big organizations are done in my opinion.

In the future there will be tiny super qualified teams on some narrow slice of competency having super narrow data sets they will guard like it is the fort knox.

Everyone else: Fridge repair.

Unfortunate reality is that software devs will go the way of the blacksmith sooner rather than later. If there is anything after this I would not even dare to question. There is always fridge repair!

They just never really believed in software much.

I don't understand why you would use C over C++ for anything other than random embedded devices where you have very intimate knowledge of the hardware. I guess you just really hate any hint of a type system?
