My intuition tells me that llm’s combined with SWE’s with really amazing fundamentals will kill the code monkeys.

And frankly? That’s the best outcome. Code monkeys (in my view that’s an individual who writes out code just to complete a jira ticket) are a liability. Not only that but each additional person you have in an org means more noise creation.

If this forces the code monkeys to level up to compete… again a good thing.

The code base should not be elongated nor complicated. I’m not even a SWE by trade, rather a CEO, and this is my preferred outcome.
