I think a better way to think about it is - what are the invariants to our current architecture? Why can't you tell Claude to build you a 1B$ business, make no mistakes?

I have no doubt they will be better programmers than almost every human that has ever existed. But the role of a SWE will expand to fill the gaps that the LLM paradigm hasn't filled:

- Accountability

- Long term architectural vision, goal setting

- Everchanging business context

- Mercurial executives, people problems, relationships etc...
