> 100% of today’s SWE tasks are done by the models.

I do think he was overstating the current state of the models by a bit, but this is taken out of context. He is not saying this is where the models are at today.

He gives a spectrum [18:30] of the models taking over the SWE jobs:

- Model writes 90% of code (today)

- Model writes 100% of code

- Model does 90% of today's SWE tasks (end-to-end)

- Model does 100% of today's SWE tasks

- The SWE job creates new tasks that didn't exist before

- Model does the new SWE tasks as well (90% reduction in demand for SWE)

Correct. Trust me if they felt really confident the thing they are working on would up-end society, these jokers would go full steam ahead and not tell you anything.

This experiment is going to fail. I only hope SWEs finally grab their balls and accept the social contract has been fundamentally broken and that they should not treat their employers so kindly next time.

This and popular trend to layoff whole QA department.
