If there will be a more diverse range of specialists covering a similar headcount as coding becomes more accessible, specialists in communication will also be part of it.
If the industry will transition to fewer engineers doing analogous work, fewer people will also be needed to facilitate communication.
As an organizational role, I would expect to change to the extent to which the software engineering practice will change.

The bottleneck has always been and will forever be knowing what youβre doing and doing what matters.
And interest rates.
New approach: replace "LGTM" with "You're absolutely right!" in code reviews, claim it was an LLM and change my title to "Principal Agentic Manager".
If you really want your horoscope to matter, all you have to do is to use an astrological CPU scheduler. β€οΈ github.com/zampieriluca...
Thatβs not even an abstraction. Thatβs just pure indirection: everything leaks, but you still have to take one extra step to get there. What I appreciate about LLMs is that they wonβt argue with you about it.
Is there another transition coming up? Iβm hearing (including from your latest podcast) that ChatGPT 5.2 with Codex is better than Opus 4.5 with Claude Code.
The board asked Siri, and Siri said to use Google.
Worse than Apple? π€
Iβve heard the term βRed Queenβs Raceβ for this kind of phenomenon, where competition over a valuable, restricted resource causes unrestricted amounts of other resources to be burned. Explains rising property prices (land), the success of the ads business (attention), among others.
I wonder whether we already know how LLM-based app output will look in the 2040s. If thatβs the case, Iβm glad we are setting the precedent of paying for a service (although the issue of paying for original, human-made content still exists).

For THEN β ELSE I would also add IF split between the backhands.

The problem is when abusing terms sells and it ends up being a race to the bottom.
Duolingo is down. Coursera is down. What am I supposed to do? Read a book? Where are my fake Internet points?
Half the internet seems to be down thanks to the us-aws-east-1 outage
Perplexity, Amazon .com, Signal all down (just 3 services I tried to use)
When aws-us-east-1 sneezes, the whole world feels it indeed
Old man yells at slop.
Itβs almost as if writing more code faster was never the bottleneckβ¦ π€
We got a lot better at marketing, 40 years ago we would have called it LLM++. π
Reminds me on how much care needs to go into making sure that communication channels are such that neither the sender nor the receiver have to carry the bulk of the effort so that the message is understood.
Sorry for making this way too generic than it needs to, but it just got me thinking.
