Like half of software jobs are Doing Something so that management feels like they are innovative thought leaders of the tech community, while the other half of the software jobs are keeping the unsexy business critical software working.
Even if everything being done with LLMs is useless, if you can do the same amount of useless with half as many developers, it's bad news for us.
But this sounds like the TAM here is roughly "SWE compensation" versus the value of moving all business and social interaction onto the Internet.
