> So, if I want to grow my company, shouldn't I hire MORE programmers?
You take the same pot of money and allocate it differently:
2010s: Hire 10 programmers
2020s: Hire 9 programmers and pay for the best AI money can buy
The 9 programmers with AI will be more productive than the 10 without.
Late 2020s, hire 5 developers and pay for the best AI money can buy.
2029, hire a developer and pay for the best AI money can buy.
2030, pay for the best money AI can buy.
At some point anything any nuanced business context a team needs and that requires humans today will be digested in AI onboarding.
