> The modern software industry is built on the assumption that we need developers to act as middlemen between us and computers. They translate our desires into code and abstract it away from us behind simple, one-size-fits-all interfaces we can understand.

While the immediate future may look like "developers write agents" as he contends, I wonder if the same observation could be said of saas generally, i.e. we rely on a saas company as a middleman of some aspect of business/compliance/HR/billing/etc. because they abstract it away into a "one-size-fits-all interface we can understand." And just as non-developers are able to do things they couldn't do alone before, like make simple apps from scratch, I wonder if a business might similarly remake its relationship with the tens or hundreds of saas products it buys. Maybe that business has a "HR engineer" who builds and manages a suite of good-enough apps that solve what the company needs, whose salary is cheaper than the several 20k/year saas products they replace. I feel like there are a lot of where it's fine if a feature feels tacked on.
