From my perspective: tons of very simple, duplicated software. The bad thing is - there is a lot of space on different markets for such software. Here in Poland you can earn for pretty decent life being lame programmer, but building simple automations for small companies.
I was raised in a way I still don’t have courage to switch to such approach, but doing this for 3-4 such entities I can see how you can make living from that.
With LLMs you can automate 90+% of the job if not more.
I have a feeling most of these folks are talking about personal projects or work on relatively small products. I have a good amount of personal projects that I haven’t written a line of code for. After bootstrapping an MVP, I can almost entirely drive by having Claude pick up GitHub issues. They’re small codebases though.
My day job is mostly a gigantic codebases that seem to still choke the best models. Also there’s zero way I’d be allowed to tailscale to my work computer from my phone.

I'm kind of confused too. I spend way more time testing and reviewing code than I could possibly keep up with 4 agents
I'm wondering about the same thing, I imagine it's good for posting it on the #hustleculture circles.
One very common thing I do is think of a small feature and ask Claude Code for Web to impl it. It works very well.
