For software developers, this is the sweet spot. Where AI-assisted software development is good enough to massively increase your productivity, but still retarded enough that your career-worth of judgement and experience is still required to get good results.

That second window will close before too long. The AI and Harness products will get good enough that a programmer is no longer needed. I think you'll still need a human for a while, but that human could probably be a Product Owner or highly motivated end-user vibing their own software. Not someone with a history of software development.

Overall, this will be a good thing for everyone, if it's done well. Bad for programmers, good for everyone else.
Plan accordingly.
