Like that is true.
And so do you need as many aggregate number of programmers if you're generating the same amount of code?
No, you don't.
And so you can take out people on the other side.
So there is truth to that.
But what that misses is what happens on the other side of that, which is, of course, you're not just going to be generating the same amount of code in the future.
You're going to be generating a lot more code.
You're going to be building a lot more products a lot more quickly.
Right.
And that's going to fuel enormous amounts of employment growth on the other side.
And so I think you're seeing basically both phenomena play out.
And you kind of have to read the announcements coming out of these companies in code because of the way those two dynamics are crossing.
Yeah, that's well said.
There was an article that was going viral in our circles the other week about the jobs of the future.
And Yoni Reckman, he said, there's a possibility the only jobs in tech companies are going to be, one, product engineer slash vibe coder slash slop cannon, two, you know, infra security systems, three, the adults in the room, you know, like legal and finance, and then four, hot people slash personality hires.
Any truth in there?
What do we make sense of this?
What do the hot people do exactly?
Sales, people, customer support.
There will always be an important place for those who present an easy UX to the world and are pleasant to be around.
