The near future? How is this a sustainable business model for any business? You just need one developer and “agentic” AI to build anything, how do you differentiate yourself?

But before that problem, I don’t see the current tools anywhere near able to deliver on the hype. They are incredible and they have plenty of use cases, but for anything non trivial it feels like it’s more work fixing the errors they create than just doing it myself. I think I’d kill myself if I had to review and fix multiple agents worth of indecipherable code.

All that being said, everyone still might get laid off! It doesn’t have to be good to crash the market.

I think you’re missing the spirit of their comment. They are not saying they get out of the tank right then, they are saying eventually everyone has to get out of the tank and go back to their home and if your neighbors aren’t happy with you and are well armed… good luck.
